I doubt that it's possible, but you could try something if the server you downloaded from resumes a download.
If the file you downloaded is a compressed one you can try to extract at least a part of files with a program like winrar. The amount of files you can extract gives you the idea where the error is.
BTW if there is a school library an internet cafe or maybe a good friend that has a faster internet connection and a CD burner I'd recommend downloading there.

make sure u r using a download manager which doesn't use multiple sources for downloading files. it may be a little faster but there is a higher chance of ur download getting corrupted.
Start winrar. File -> open. File type, all files and select the file.
EDIT:
You probably wanna know what i'm up to. I'm downloading the file myself and then we're both gonna make a multivolume archive of the file. Then we're gonna compare the checksums of the volumes and hopefully find the part where the error lies.
