Phex uses a different way of chunking. You can manually force chunking with the option to manual entered chunk size causing to chunk the file, or a relative size where you specify how many chunks you like.
Phex also support a efficient automatic merge of two chunks in case the next chunk has not started a download yet and the other host is not supporting KeepAlive. This way no disconnection is needed.
If you dont force manual chunking Phex will chunk the file for you by itself in the moment a new host connection is ready to upload the file to you.
Of course the new Phex 0.8 release is also able to download from partial sources or get into a download queue to wait until the other host provides the file to you.
