I just would not know. In practice for me using Mozilla 1.0, resume after a break generally does not happen. The beauty of jigdo is that I could download my iso file by file if I needed to. From a more practical point of view it was quite easy to produce a set of 7 - 3.0r1 cds starting with my existing set of 3.0r0 cds and using my dialup connection 4 hours at a time. Of course it was more bothersome than just `wget blah-blah.iso` but without being on a broadband connection I don't think that I would even attempt to use wget for that. Bob
