So far I've been using wget as it's very simple: dump a bunch of
ftp/http/etc URLs on the command line or into some file, call wget,
done. Well until one of the files is >2GB. If it didn't even start I
wouldn't say anything, if it downloaded 2GB and then exited stage left I
wouldn't care either, but no, wget downloads 2GB, poops itself, deletes
all the downloaded 2GB, and starts again from the zero bytes mark. Grrr.
Is there something better? lftp was mentioned, but it needs fuffling
with stupid ftp commands, ie isn't as user friendly.
Thanks,

I've got the latest out of cvs, and it works. Be aware that only the
latest web servers actually support it as well, but there's an 'ignore
size reported by server' or similar option that overcomes this.
Let me know if you want me to tar it up and send it somewhere, although
I expect that you've got enough bandwidth to get it yourself.
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/pack/anoncvs login
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/pack/anoncvs checkout wget
iirc the password is cvs, anoncvs or something really easily guessable.
You may need to install gettext as well.
hth,
