Ok, I don't think I asked the right question?

If I apt-get packages X, Y and Z, and I'm cutoff in the middle of down loading Z, X and Y 
will stick? But package Z won't. Now if I start the download again, will apt-get ignore X, 
and Y, since they have already been down loaded, and resume with Z, or will I have to 
restart the down load of Z?
