I need the script for using wget in a cron job for timed downloads at

script for night downloads. So if a script copy could be posted, I would
be grateful.
Tell me exactly what it needs to do, I'll be happy to write you one.
I need to start a dialup connection using wvdial and wget the iso
download. The connection must close before 6 AM.
It is a Reliance FWP Freedom at Night plan where downloads are unlimited
between 10 pm to 6 am. The speed was too slow though on the first day. I
connect using 'sudo wvdial reliance' and manually give 'sudo route add
default ppp0'. Then give 'wget url'. I will start the download but I
need to stop it just before 6 am and wget should keep the partial file
resumable for next day.
Regards,
Rony.
