I cannot do the iso download because I am stuck with a 56k dialup with a time limit per call (university rules). There is NO proper option for broadband that would make downloading ISOs and whatnot doable.Many downloaders have a resume option which lets you continue downloadong where you left off at the end of the last session.
Use rsync to download over your 56KB link, but make sure the --partial option is set.
You have been around here long enough to be aware of our troels.rsync8.3.pl from my web site. Use it (--partial is always set).
The web site also contains an example of using cron to automatically redial after a server timeout disconnect to enable a fully hands-off automated troels download under time-limited session conditions.
