Does the file have a direct URL? If so, you could use wget and just keep restarting it. Not prettiest method, but it has worked for me several times. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Wood" <woodbrian77 at gmail.com> To: "tclug-list" <tclug-list at mn-linux.org> Sent: Monday, February 24, 2014 12:22:15 PM Subject: [tclug-list] Downloads cut off Yesterday I was downloading a Manjaro Linux file that was 1.1 gig. Two times the download was stopped in the middle. Both of those times I had initiated a second download of a smaller file. The down- load of the smaller files completed fine, but the download of Manjaro was halted before completion. I don't have a real fast internet connection, but am getting a great deal on it, so can't complain too much. The machine I was downloading Manjaro on has Fedora on it and the machine I initiated the smaller downloads on is running Arch. Both times the download of Manjaro had gotten over 400 meg. It seemed like a waste of resources to download it from the beginning multiple times. Any ideas of things I could do to improve the situation? It would be nice if a download would just slow way down for a while rather than being aborted. Thanks in advance. -- Brian Ebenezer Enterprises - So far G-d has helped us. http://webEbenezer.net _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
