From what I have seen, torrent does a sanity check on the data it has downloaded and resumes from the point where it has left off. I.e. the only state that it sees it the data in the download. Hence, if the file you are downloading is exactly the same what the torrent has, the torrent should be able to start from where wget left off. This is the theory at least - untested, unverified etc. etc. disclaimers -- raj shekhar facts: http://rajshekhar.net | opinions: http://rajshekhar.net/blog Yoda of Borg are we: Futile is resistance.
