Well, any ftp server (and client for that matter) worth a damn supports the REGET command. You did not say which ftp site you used, but you should be able to pick up where you left off. One ominous thing though, I find the command line ftp that comes on Micro$oft systems hangs at the very end of a get if it downloaded a binary as ASCII. If that's what happened... you're hosed. > Also, do I need the checksum file that is in that directory with it? If you want to do a checksum to verify a non-corrupted download, yes. If you are not going to bother, no. -- Crist J. Clark cjclark@home.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
