That's been a long-time TODO item, but it's tricky; it needs to store what blocks have been downloaded. I think pget is too limited, anyway. I'd like to be able to do things with it: add new sources (from different places), remove sources, intelligently switch sources (eg. if a faster source finishes first), and so on. That's stuff typical "download managers" (eg. GetRight) do; I don't see any reason lftp shouldn't be able to, too. But the current pget implementation isn't designed for that, and we don't have any way for the user to cleanly interact with running tasks right now. Probably not something I'll try to tackle, at least. -- Glenn Maynard
