hi all, Im using mirror to keep up with potato , and a few other bits and pieces. My PC is set to fire up at night connect and do its thing.
Now I recently happen to notice that mirror actually resumed a file <major suprise here> i had never seen it do that before. I had a look at the code ( eek i know zilch about perl >;0) ) and it does appear to support resume. A bit of experimentation and ive found it only resumes files that it has timed out on, not those that it got "killed" on. I gather that on time outs it "date/time stamps" the temp file".in.blahblah" file AFTER timeout and picks this up for resume ( time and names match size doesn't) next time around. If i kill it ( ie thru ip-down.d ) it does not do this, guess maybe im killing it the wrong way ( should i use a stick <grin>). 1) Now is there any way to get it to time stamp the file at the start of getting it ?? 2) How should i be killing it.
