wget has no problems with this. I know we've discussed this before (you said something about curl being available as a lib, and wget not, though I don't see why this matters with rpmdrake being Perl, also grpmi used to use wget). > The option is a bit "hidden" but since there is this > problem when > trying to resume complete downloads, it seems ok to > me. Well, if you ever get it sorted out (-> wget or fix curl) it'd be nice if you added it to the GUI as a per-source option. Like, I'd want to keep downloads from a security update source, but not things downloaded from my Cooker source, which is on my other box one foot away :o) Oh, and a reminder in advance to put it in both the Add and Edit dialog boxes. Don't care if this gets done before 9.0 or not, just something nice for your TODO list. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
