RE: [PLUG] HTTP file command line download


Just as an FYI I usually use the '-t inf' when downloading a large file.
That will tell wget to try an infinite amount of times to download the file.
And the -c option will allow you to continue wgetting a partially downloaded
file.

Hope this helps too.
