Wget should continue automatically if the program quits normally due to connection problems. As long as you don't kill the program. I never have such problems because i'm on DSL 24/7, never got any connection problems. But the manual says above, so i guess it is correct, and i hope i'm not reading outdated manuals (i'm using web manual...) I only say that it might give problems to other users. Maybe it could only be noted? Tijnema -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
