As for resuming your broken ISO, I would simply do

Code:

cd /where/KNOPPIX_V5.3.1DVD-2008-03-26-EN.iso.part/is/stored/

Rename it to .iso

Code:

mv KNOPPIX_V5.3.1DVD-2008-03-26-EN.iso.part KNOPPIX_V5.3.1DVD-2008-03-26-EN.iso

Resume it with -c option in wget

Code:

wget -c http://from.where.i.downloaded/KNOPPIX_V5.3.1DVD-2008-03-26-EN.iso

Finally make sure MD5sums match.

Of course, you can use transmission/deluge/azureus bittorent clients. I recommend torrent for large downloads.

This must be sticky to any Xxxx Xxxxx Testing and Discussion forum!

wget is already installed into 9.10

I am using ONLY mobile broadband and I managed to continue a 'stopped' 9.10 daily .iso from 75% ...!
Downloading with up to 50KBytes/s after 2 1/2 hours stopped...

Many thanks to kpkeerthi,
George

You can stop, pause and resume downloads using it.
There is also a feature to do a Mirror Search. So it can download from several sources at the same time, maximising speed.

As for doing it in Linux, im not sure. Haven't tried to be honest.
You could always try it in Wine

There is Multiget availabe for ubuntu

Code:
