Doesn't the website you are downloading from have to support the "resume" feature?
DAP is adware/spyware, or was last time I used it.
Net Vampire is what I have been using as a download manager as it is non obtrusive and drag and drop easy.
I have done up to 300mb downloads on dialup with it.

You need to do 2 things to get useful results.
FIRSTLY:
To get a comparitive FPS reading, you have to decide on some "test standard" setting for both your driver settings and FSim graphics settings.
It's probably best if you choose your most common settings that you normally use while flying FSim as your "test standard".
SECONDLY:
Choose the same exact flight with the same weather etc. for the TEST FLIGHT.
I use the FS9 Default Flight at Seattle because it starts with the aircraft parked at the threshold in a dense scenery area.
When the flight loads, I don't move or touch anything other than the SHIFT + Z keys to get a FPS reading. It's that simple. Just wait about 20 seconds or so and try to estimate the average or most displayed figure you see there, also note the low and high figure. Compare the results with subsequent tests to note any changes in performance.
If you do it carefully and scientifically, this method is better than any benchmark anyway, as it directly reflects what changes will impact on FSim.
