curl does not survive losing connection. Since the probability to lose connection when you download 2Gb+ files is very high even if you have a fast connection,
This mailing list is for wget, not curl. We can talk about what curl does and does not on the curl mailing list. It _does_ support request retrying and it does support download resuming - it is however not a wget clone. Besides, curl already supports large file transfers portably. Wget does not.
In general, TCP connections _are not_ likely to disconnect no matter how much data you transfer, it is only likely to happen if you have shaky network setup.
