Wget fails to resume download with Mandriva 2007.1.

And?
There's got to be more to it than that!
Like.......
What are you trying to download and what causes the need to resume?

"[LQ@localhost isos]$ curl -C - -O 'url_for_ISO'
Be sure to include the single quotation marks. The '-C -' option allows you to continue the download if it is interrupted (for example, in case you lose the connection). The '-O' (the letter 'O', not a zero) option will save the file with same name as on the server."
This command works with Suse 10.2 but but not with Mandriva 2007.1.

Maybe it's because it's a Curl command & not a Wget command?

Maybe this will help - http://linuxgazette.net/issue70/chung.html?

I do not think that Mandriva 2007.1 sopports resume download,because
wget -c also did not work.But works with Suse 10.2. Well, I actually want to buy cheap Linux distro rather than pay more money to my ISP to increase download speed but I am not able to find that kind of store in Japan.

Mandriva has Downloader for X. It has suspend & resume. Install d4x if not already. This is what I used to use befor they used bittorrrent.

What are you trying to download? Are you downloading specific files, or are you using wget with another program (e.g.: urpmi)? If you provide more complete information, you may receive more productive responses ...

+1 d4x, that is really my prefered solution
maybe use opera as well (might be able to resume)

Otherwise if this was the dvd (or even the cd)
the way to download is really bittorent if you can rather than hitting the mirrors
