wget -c "url" is the one i use always.. If the download stops in mid way this command will continue from where it stopped.
e.g., I accidentally closed Firefox yesterday while downloading ati driver in my friends system (it downloaded around 95%). To continue i just found the url, and in terminal typed "wget -c <url>" and it continued from the point where it was left :) On Tue, Nov 15, 2011 at 10:30 AM, Balachandran Sivakumar < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > On Tue, Nov 15, 2011 at 10:21 AM, Girish Venkatachalam > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > even one of those popular commands like grep you ought to remember the > > appropriate switch. > > > > Or install manpages and be happy for the rest of life :) It's > good to have(debian package names) manpages (manpages-dev as well if > you are writing C) in all machines.
