Mark,
>From the man page for ncftp:
The program tries to ``resume'' downloads by
default. This means that if the remote FTP server
lost the connection and was only able to send 490
kilobytes of a 500 kilobyte file, you could recon
nect to the FTP server and do another get on the
same file name and it would get the last 10 kilo
bytes, instead of retrieving the entire file again.
There are some occasions where you may not want
that behavior. To turn it off you can use the
``-Z'' flag.
In short, IF I understand the man page, ncftp does a reget by default, if
a file has been partially fetched.
