Re: wget: A good download manager?
wget is an awesome tool for most downloading needs, but I'd probably not call it a Manager since I can't think of a commandline tool that I would consider that title appropriate for. However, wget is an amazing tool for a couple different situations: anonymous ftp: where the site is full most of the time. wget allows you to set a retry count (-t) which will continue to try a given URL. Recovery: Using the -c option allows you to recover from failed downloads. Mirroring: wget has special options specifically for mirroring other sites. Recursion: wget, being very good at mirroring, has many recursion options (downloading directory structures, not just files). HTTP and FTP support. begin Joel Hammer [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Sat, 21 Dec 2002 11:03:17 -0500) Just a question for my own information. wget in info wget claims to be a good download manager. That is to say, it can restart the download if the connection is lost. Does someone have experience who can verify this? And, if you have experience with wget, do you have any experiences with wget which might be useful to share with someone just starting to use it?

Re: wget: A good download manager?
Yes wget can resume failed downloads. I don't know that i'd call wget a download manager. If you're looking for a good download manager, i'd recommend a GUI known as Downloader for X.
