I just remembered that Suns web server does not support crash recovery. wget -c starts from the beginning, just like suns download manager. Perhaps Suns server is more the problem than the client. Wget isn't going to work for me in this case. > also, sun kindly provides a nice download manager that can cope with > the download just fine Avoid the latest version - I grabbed the most recent and it has severe problems. Sun could not have screwed up a simple task any worse. Stopping a download hangs the download manager with resume and all the other functions greyed out. It doesn't clean up after itself when closing it, and more processes must be killed manually (kill -5) before it can be run again. And when it comes up again, it finds the previous queue of files, but it starts from the beginning on files that were 60% complete. It does not find the *.bak files that it previously created for recovery. So Suns download manager is quite far from nice particularly when working over an ISDN connection (which must be able to handle frequent interruptions). So I still need that FTP site I asked for. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
