When I use that `other' os I have a small utility (Gozilla!) that resumes http downloads if I loose my connection. Is there some way of doing the same in Linux? I know that ftp clients do the same but if I download over http I'd quite like the same facility.
wget can do this with the -c option. for example
wget -c http://foobarred.com/reallybigfile.tar.gz
would do the job, but it will only work if the webserver supports resumed downloads (apparently with the range header).
man wget has the full instructions
