I've used curl (Command-line URL http://curl.haxx.se/) to restart FTP sessions in "mid file" using the --continue-at offset option. You would need to write a wrapper script run at whatever interval desired to check the transfer. If the file were incomplete, it could then restart at the current file size + 1 byte.

Additionally, curl returns a non-zero return code if the transfer failed. With that, you could determine the appropriate byte offset and requeue your script using the at command.
