That's a drag. Fortunately, however, ftp supports resuming interrupted downloads, as per the man page: reget remote-file [local-file] Reget acts like get, except that if local-file exists and is smaller than remote-file, local-file is presumed to be a par- tially transferred copy of remote-file and the transfer is continued from the apparent point of failure. This command is useful when transferring very large files over networks that are prone to dropping connections. -- -Chuck
