what app to use for large download
 

what app is best for doing a large download on a dialup connection? I need one that will resume a download when I get an ubrupt disconnect. I'm tring to download a 200+mb iso img, only to have my connection crap out at about the
half way point:mad:

wget works perfectly. ;)

Specifically, wget -c <url of file>

-c=resume download

Thanks guys! No more hair pulling! rshaw, downloader for X looks promising I'll give have to give it a test drive.

Note: now giving downloader for X a test drive even as I speak , so far it works as advertised. Installation was easy and stright forward. A nice app for anybody looking for a gozilla type of downloader.

Double that with doing it from a screen session and you won't have to worry about accidentally closing the terminal, logging out of an SSH session, or X crashing.
