Likely there's a reason you're using Perl. But are you aware that wget has a continue/resume option? wget http:/www.my_download.net/download_file.tgz and if the connection breaks, to resume: wget -c http:/www.my_download.net/download_file.tgz This works in the majority if not all cases that I'ved used it. (the ftp or http server must support resume but I've never ran into one that didn't). I sometimes call wget from Perl. -- Alan. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
