You can stop the render and continue using the '+c' command line option.
This continues the render at the end of the (unfinished) image file. Be
careful with this when using radiosity though.

45 days for a still, but in several pieces each ~10 days.

I faintly remember that there might be some problem with this if you are
using png as output image format (or perhaps I just remember wrong).
To make sure, use some other format before stopping a several-days-long
render (for example tga should be fine).

There's a "Resume Previous Render" option in the WinPOV IDE as well as the
command-line option. Personally, my record was about a day and a half with
a rather simple but long animation. Is there a reason you can't leave the
computer on all night?

... by feeling how the processor is cooling down because it's being idle.

BTW do test this first with a short render, and I recommend backing up the
partial file before resuming...
