Unfortunately there is no support for resuming interrupted uploads at the 
moment. It would be possible to implement, but not trivial. The simplest 
thing would be for you to find another DSL provider who doesn't do such 
nasty things to you :)

I've put some design notes up at 
https://www.boxbackup.org/trac/wiki/020Redesign#ResumingUploads for anyone 
who's interested in looking at implementing this.

Cheers, Chris.
