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..... regards Andrew ----------------------- Andrew Lawson andrew.lawson@mot.com a.d.lawson@ntlworld.com www.erizo.co.uk Configuration Control Motorola ECID Groundwell, Swindon, Uk ----------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
