Jpegs are built so they work in blocks, left to right, top to bottom, meaning the top left of the picture is at the start of the file, bottom right is at the end of the file. Unlike most Gif files that are built in a sort of matrix format.
about jpgs: yes, true, however there are some which aren't build up that way... about gifs: same, not all gifs have the "matrix" build up, only interleaced gifs have... and btw, jpgs can have that "matrix" build up also...

What files do you mean? The files in transfer?
They are stored in your windows temporary directory (useually c:\windows\temp) and are named as
TFR??.tmp...
The temporary file is immediatly created with it's full size (so messenger can check if you have enough space left), but it is empty at first of course and gradually filled with the data....
When the transfer succesfully ends (file is transfered) the file is copied to the correct directory which is set to recieve files, and the temporary file is deleted.
When the transfer ends unsuccesfully, the temporary file is deleted, no matter what...
With the current system, you can't make anything to continue cancelled transfers because the offset where the transfer ended isn't stored anywhere (only in memory during the transfer), so you wouldn't know where to continue the filetransfer (unless you make an addon which reads this memory address, which proberly isn't in a fixed place) constantly and saves it somewhere)...
And also, you would have to hack messenger to keep the temporary file instead of deleting it (illegal, but not impossible)...
The only solution is to make your own
transfer-addon/plugin or to wait until MSN integrates this into Messenger...
