Down Loading

[Pete Poff]

 Hi,
the service that I use to get onto the internet only allows me 1 
 hour at a time, then I have to quit and log back on.  There are somefile 
 that are like 7 meg, and take 1 1/2 hours to download and the service I 
 use kick me off after 1 hour.  How could I 
 download it?

Either use reget command in ftp, or `get -r' in ncftp.  Both do the
same.

 reget remote-file [local-file]
 Reget acts like get, except that if local-file exists and is
 smaller than remote-file, local-file is presumed to be a par­
 tially transferred copy of remote-file and the transfer is
 continued from the apparent point of failure.  This command
 is useful when transferring very large files over networks
 that are prone to dropping connections.

Get as much as you can in the first hour, then in the second session, do a
reget from ftp which will finish the file in the second, or seuccessive
sessions.

Use ftp get filename the first time then use reget filename on
subsequent ftp sessions.  I think reget is supported by most ftp
servers.  It has worked for me every time I've tried it.  I think
dselect does a reget when you use the ftp method.

If reget doesn't work, have a friend with a fast connection download it
and split it up to smaller files :)
