I re-connected, but fetch didn't continue (which doesn't surprise me). I tried sending it a SIGCONT but that had no effect. Eventually I sent it SIGHUP which caused it to then try to d/l the file from another server which, unfortunately, is much slower than the original server it was using. So, is there anyway, in this situation, that I can make fetch(1) continue with the d/l? -- 4.4 - The number of the Beastie ________________________________________________________________ 51.44°N FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org 2.057°W My Webpage http://ukug.uk.freebsd.org/~mark mailto:marko@freebsd.org http://www.radan.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
