I'm not sure this is a good idea however...

I didn't do wget -c... But I could certainly update it to do this.  One
would have thought as many times as I ran and sat and waited for this
thing that I would have thought to do that.

This would be legal yes.  And it would be a small change to support
something like this.  But I really don't desire to host gobs of font
file downloads from my own site (the URLS it uses just redirect to other
sites).  So I didn't try to do anything like that... Yet.  

Given co-operation from Mandrake, there's no reason why it couldn't be
improved to do that.
