When using wget to download files or whatever, append the -c or -- continue switch e.g.,

$ wget --continue http://foo.com/foofile


you can also say:

wget --continue --tries=99 "http://foo.com/foofile";

so that you tell wget to keep on downloading and if the connection should fail, to keep trying 99 times until it completes the download. that way you don't have to keep looking at it.
