I'd try 'wget' -- I think there are some other tools for stable
downloading stuff ... but this tool seems to be OK ... some time ago when
I was downloading some rpm or so and the connection broke down, wget
successfully reconnected to the download area *without* my intervention
and seemed to continue the download at the point where it was thrown out
of the phone line before, i.e. it doesn't seem to start the whole download
from the beginning after a phone line breakdown ... it seems to reconnect
by default after broken downloads, i.e. there are no additional options or
arguments necessary. (I hope remembering it all correctly ...)
For example to download the wget manual with wget:
wget http://www.gnu.org/manual/wget-1.5.3/html_mono/wget.html
Some time ago when I was to lazy to restart an Internet-connection for 3
several downloads I did this (if I remember correctly ...)
wget path/to/the/first/software; wget path/to/the/other/software; wget
path/to/the/last/software
I put these 3 commands in one line and wget downloaded them one after the
other, without my further intervention being necessary ...
Enjoy ...
Regards
Wolfgang
