Chrome Download manager vs sftp (alien.top)

I am investigating which option is best for downloading large files (50gb*). Seems like chrome is not fault tolerant as if it encounters a network error, the download will flick to failed which then requires you to manually resume it. Of course that is a problem when your running the download overnight

Winscp seems to have an option to automatically reconnect if a disconnect occurs which seems to be a more fault tolerant approach

Any advice would be appreciated as to the best method
