I personally don't recommend this, particularly with a large install (one of the security updates a ways back was more than 10 megs, if I remember) .
I was installing a large update, the connection dropped for some reason, and the server went totally wacky after that... it took a bunch of effort, including hooking up a terminal to the box, to get it working again.
In my book, the risk of that happening to me again compared with the time savings makes it not a good investment... but to each his or her own, I guess.

If you use "wget" you also has the possibility to chack that you actually got the whole file during transfer. Just check the file size.
