hi JS and Robins ,
thanks for replying , i was trying to tweak the wget
parameters and finally i could do it by issuing a command like
wget -c -q -P/path/to/download /file/to/download ... working fine now ,
-c and -q are just general parameters .. the rest did the job ..
thanks again guys ,
all the best ...
