Package: googleearth-package Version: 0.7.0 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
Currently resuming an interrupted download is not supported. This can be problematic on bad connections. I've attached a patch which allows resuming for both curl and wget.

Try to resume download from partially downloaded file. This is all but necessary for bad connections.
