Err...do you mean that MandrakeUpdate has a switch '--wget'?  I did a 'man 
MandrakeUpdate' and get nada.  Doing a 'MandrakeUpdate --help' produces 
nothing useful either.  In any case, since I would expect that a lot of 
users, particularly new users, would start the update process from DrakConf 
rather than from a CLI, they would not tend to use command line switches, 
just icons.  Autoresume should be builtin by default.
