personally, wget -c ftp://server/directory/filename
works like a charm, the -c switch tells wget to continue after interruptions. most boxes have wget on them, unlike other apps, such as jigdo.

I think the original poster would like to install some version of Unix for the first time. You can't find a wget on M$, I think.

I know some sites block wget because it is frequently (ab)used to leech a lot of files at the same time.

actually, wget is available for windows. funny, i know.

Quote:
Microsoft Windows binaries are available from SunSITE FTP server at ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/wget/windows/ or http://space.tin.it/computer/hherold/ and have been kindly provided by Heiko Herold. An MS-DOS binary designed to be used under plain DOS with a packet driver has been made available by Doug Kaufman. It is available from http://www.rahul.net/dkaufman/. Antinode.org offers a VMS port of Wget.
http://wget.sunsite.dk/#downloading

works beautifully i might add.


as for the blocking, ive never came across that, wierd.
