Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It's frustrating if trying to download a large dataset (e.g. imagenet, coco etc.) and for some reason the download fails. Apparently it does not continue where interrupted (or am I doing something wrong here?)
Describe the solution you'd like
Automatic resume of download if files already exist in the download folder
Describe alternatives you've considered
Downloading it manually. Would be nicer if its integrated, though.

Research direction
The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by tracing the dataset download implementation and how existing files in the download folder are handled. Done means an interrupted large download can continue automatically from existing data, with coverage for the resumed-download behavior.
