Bobster may be thinking of this...
In your location, type "about:config".
These are a raw view of Firefox's settings.
Once it comes up, I suggest you enter "network" or "http" in the filter, but it's not necessary. You are looking for 2 items:
network.http.pipelining and network.http.pipelining.maxrequests.
Once you find them, set the pipelining to true, and maxrequests, well, I'd just double it to start. It's a vanishing returns type situation, you can add more but if it works for you, you'll see vanishing returns as you up the number.
See if that speeds things up for you. WARNING....only do it if you have broadband or better. It won't help you, in fact will probably slow your performance down, if you are on dial-up.
Oh...re: resuming, I don't remember if Firefox supports it, but regardless, the server you are downloading from has to support it, i.e. it won't always work.
