It could certainly be done - send that process the suspend signal.
I'm just curious why you might want to do this.
I download one or two large images a year, but maybe that's just me.
I couldn't imagine having several downloads going all at once
and starting and stopping some of them on a whim.
Also not sure at all if the server is terribly happy about a download
that is paused for more than a couple minutes.
I suspect that when you tried to resume it the server would have timed out.
I know this is the case for ftp.
I've seen the "data transfer timeout" parameter
in my ftp server's config file.
In fact, /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf (on my machine) currently has
data_connection_timeout=120
Pause for 2 minutes and my server would terminate the download.
