When I =>need to download a large file I have two options; =>a)Use gftp with the ability to resume partial downloads (perhaps other ftp =>clients allow this) =>b)Use something like Gozilla on a windows machine => => Has anybody any idea how I could automate the process of re-dialling =>and restarting downloads, preferably so that I can install ports with the =>usual mak install and without having to download things seperately etc..... That might be a bit involving with very little chances of success. Maybe you could grab the CDs from freebsdmall? The peace of mind the CDs will give you is worth the amount, which is very minimal. -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington Inter-Connect Ltd., wash@iconnect.co.ke 5th Flr Furaha Plaza Tel: 254 11 222604 Nkrumah Rd., Fax: 254 11 222636 PO Box 83613 MOMBASA, KE.
