90s Memes

There was a bunch of download managers like that! I personally used GoZilla, and as many other apps, it would download in multiple pieces, and there were retries (so you wouldn't lose the progress if you disconnected for a second, or something like that).
But I did download a pirated version of Ultima Online, to play on a pirate server, through standard Internet Explorer dialog. The file was 314MB, it took a couple days while I was feeding my Internet Provider with time codes and asking my mom not to even think of touching the phone.
