wget -c won't work. It will only work if the file being downloaded only gets appended to. But if the g. file changes in the middle, you have to re-download everything. It would be better to use amanda or something similar which is delta-aware.
or, use wget to do a HEAD, and if the file has changed, download everything again. On 6/15/07, Kenneth P.
