Most webservers I know of will correctly see that you are requesting and downloading 'byte ranges' -- the file gets chopped up in x segments of 1/x size on request of the downloader; also see the 206 partial content directive in http that all download accelerators rely on.

By the way: do not confuse download managers (simple queueing programs) with download accelerators (those chop up the request using byte ranges).
