You might be able to get away with this. This is loosely based on the
numbers you gave earlier; you'll probably have to adjust them some.
Also, filenames will need to be changed to protect the innocent.

0. Make a copy of what you have. We don't want to mess something up.

1. Add a whole lot of zero data, to somewhere _near_ the full size of
the original file.
$ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1184 >> file.mov

3. Download the rest of the file.
$ wget -c http://somewhere/file.mov

Good luck. If the file is playable after this madness, you know it'll
work. If it doesn't, well.... ;)
