Hmm, I was using rsync recently and found that instead of continuing interupted temp files it would each time start a new temp file ( copied from the original ), i ended up with 3 temp files larger than the original, now i guess maybe its in the way i kill it and it doesnt get to clean up.
Im on dialup so when the line goes down ip-down is set to kill it , how should this be done ?? ( I went back to wget and cant remember exactly how i killed it ) Thanx Patrick wrote: > On Fri, Apr 09, 1999 at 04:58:39PM +0930, Mark Phillips took time to write: > > Look at the file on either end and imagine that it comprises a sequence > > of smaller sized chunks.
