Certainly has potential.
Thanks
I had trouble with a couple of the downloads, mainly timing out which is
a problem on slow connections. Can't afford a data block so will wait
til my speed resets back to full.

There is a command-line download program called "wget" which
will resume interrupted downloads if you use the "-c" option.
(Usually. The web server must support HTTP byte ranges.)
It's also good for spoofing the Referer field and doing other
interesting things if you have the necessary geek-fu.
Web servers today are like ADHD kids -- no patience with us
slow, dial-up users so they cut off the connection in the middle.
I use a download manager most of the time but have had some issues with
one of the updates to Firefox. I'm on satellite so get shaped when my
limit is reached until the end of the month and my limit isn't very high
so it takes me less than a week to reach and I refuse to pay for extra
data blocks. Since I always have several downloads on the go I just wait
and slot them in after more 'important' stuff has finished. :)

BTW Ginny, thanks for the link!

Glad to help. I get a lot of good info from this group so it's nice to
return the favour sometimes.
I've always had problems with FF's downloading reliability, so I only
use it for small stuff that will finish within a minute or so.
For Windows, I prefered using Flashget. For Linux, I use wget.
