Back in the day when I was on dialup, I used getitright (or getright) for pausing and resuming downloads. I can't vouch for it now, as this was years ago. It looks like now you also have to pay for it :-/
For the most part nowadays, I just use opera's download manager. Firefox's download manager is adequate as well.

Read this for a decent selection : http://lifehacker.com/347827/top-10-...nload-managers
As for me, outside of the download manager that comes with Firefox, I avoid them whenever possible (more about emusic below) but if you connect to You Tube or sites like it or use P2P you may need another one. Just a word of warning, if you update the download manager always read the change logs and any policy updates, I'm very fond of emusic but I missed the fact that they were including a tribal fusion tracking cookie in their manager.

I have never used a 3rd party download manager. I use Bulletproof FTP for FTP, and either Opera or Firefox for HTTP downloads.
