Alternate method for downloading large files

Question

I want to download the iPhone SDK, but 2.7 GB is too big to download at once, so I would like to download it in parts?

Is there a link available to download the whole SDK in chunks?

Your best bet is just to download from the original link and just use a download manager that supports pause / resume.

downloads from connect.apple.com aren't resumable using Safari. I'm uncertain about other download managers – Spark Feb 3 '10 at 5:44

Wil is right, your best bet is to use a download manager. The one I use is called Leech (it's not free, but it has a trial)

Safari directly supports pause/resume download for direct download.
Otherwise, you can find maybe what you want in a torrent download.

maybe you could use torrents, so you can resume downloads later.
