Nice tips but I just want to complete you remark (don't be mad about it, it's just some perfectionism )
Instead of an external http download manager, you could also simply use the torrent (with utorrent, transmission, ...) provided in the download section, they are a lot of file-integrity checks here. So you are sure you won't have any file corruption there.
For a good download manager on linux, there is the classic wget (with -c) or kget (provided in the KDE desktop environment).
But most of nowadays browsers have a good download manager already there. I'm still surprised about that issue.
