Hello, thanks for this post. I have been using wget before. And I would like to ask anyone of you if there is a way for wget to resume a partially downloaded file but this time from a different server url? I am using torrific and it gives a different url after computer shutdown and resuming downloads.

Thanks a ton Vivek.
I used your info to resume a broken http (browser) download of a 11.04 iso.
The command-line / URL I eventually figured for this was :

wget -c http://ubunturelease.hnsdc.com/11.04/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso

Sharing this just in case this contemporary URL info helps some more of us in a similar situation.
Cheers

SWEET! for me, this is HEAVEN. I am out in the middle of the forest, and all i get for internet is tethering my cell phone to my computer…. at a whopping 3k-10k speed.
(good thing i have unlimited data plan) It can hell just doing a simple 20-30 mb file. At least now i do not have to start all the way at zero again. Huge thanks!

yes the -c option in wget helps resume downloads. Important article. :)

If you want GUI like Flashget you can use Multiget.
