url: http://www.someserver/somefile.rm
http: open/direct/binary url
print "http opened."
while [true] [
w: wait [http]
{more code here}
]
it fails on the w: wait[http] line. why?
wait works on a tcp port, I know that from another project.
Does wait not work with an http port?
-------------------------------
I ran the url through my IE browser and it never timed out,
but you could watch, after about around a megabyte of data,
the download rate would plummet as if the server basically
lost interest in the request.
Then, I found that after cancelling, when I requested the same
url, IE was smart enough to just resume where it left off.
Well, it took about 20 re-tries, but I eventually got the 14.3 MB file.
Now, don't tell me you are going to let IE lick you!
How can I do the same thing (dowload the whole file) in Rebol?
is there a way to specify restarting a download in Rebol http?
is there a way to set it so it won't timeout?
Note: the timeout is actually on the client side,
because IE never times out...?

The file I am trying to download is

It's basically a capture of a couple of hours of Irish radio.
