I think that MandrakeUpdate is just a link to rpmdrake. Rpmdrake uses urpmi to do all the work.-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1

How about giving MandrakeUpdate
an autoresume ability?
I agree. This would be very useful. It would certainly simplify life for those users who do not have a dedicated connection, potentially greatly reducing stress or concern about what will happen if the connection is terminated early (for whatever reason).
Best wishes,

seems to work from some mirrors as an "auto-resume after break" function
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.

See "man urpmi"
