I just almost threw my computer out of the window. I've been downloading the service pack for my mom's computer. Since she can't get online, I have to get the full service pack which is 85 megs. On my connection that takes about 9 hours. I was almost 6 hours into it when my connection died for about 10 seconds which was enough to throw off the download. Now I have most of a service pack and I need an idea about how to continue it. I have a Windows 98 machine that I can copy the file to if necessary, I just need to know a program that can continue it, preferably for Linux. Respond quickly if possible. Gracias.

Try wget with the -c option, i.e. "wget -c ftp://blah.blah"

Wget worked perfectly. I vaguely remembered the command but I kept thinking fget. Thank you for saving both mine and my computer's life.
