Hello, (sorry for the OT but I really don't know of a better place for my enquiry. Really) I'm looking for a little program to help me download files across extremely unreliable links and/or unstable systems. I'd like something to keep trying until the file is downloaded, or until h3ll freezes over. Since the link and the downloading workstation (FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-pX) are unstable (for instance, unplanned power failures) the proggy should automatically resume the transfer on reboot. I think that rules out wget since I need something "daemonizable". Do you guys & gals know of such a beast? Best regards, Carlos. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
