I mostly do things over again.  I like command line since it makes it
very easy to automate.  With GUIs, unless it supports something like
scripting, you can't automate it.

Well, I usually ownload with 'wget -c <file>', and it works great.  If I
need to know something else, 'wget --help' give me the info I need.

wget kicks ass.  I have it downloading stuff right now.

Dude, all you should really need to know is 'wget <file>', or 'wget -c
<file>" to resume files (I just always use the -c).  Got multiple
downloads?  Create a file with something like this in it:

wget -c <file1>
wget -c <file2>
wget -c <file3>
wget -c <file4>

and then do '. file'
