This was a question asked of me by one of our network admins.
Background.
Today, while doing the updates on my machine at work, one of the
packages was close to 300MB in size. Yum tried to download this file
multiple times with no success. It kept timing out with the below 1000
Bytes/second for over 30 seconds.

In one case, the file was at 99% complete when it stopped. Restarted on
a different mirror at 0%
Due to firewall rules there is bandwidth management and it allows
downloads to start at a high speed only to slow down at 25MB.
The Question.
The network admin asked if Fedora was like Ubuntu that will continue
downloading where it left off? I stated I doubted it as the display
kept going back to zero
