It appears that single file progress is lost and can't be resumed, but if a file completed then it can be validated and skipped to continue multi-file DLs. Steam does partial DLs quite nicely, but most hosts don't.
In some ways this is good, since it allows breaking up big monolithic DLs like the Sonar install into smaller files that then recover faster. If there is some 'magic' that C3 does with installing files in a certain order then this could be a problem for manual installers like myself.
