Warning about network connections
Authored by: hombre on Aug 30, '02 02:05:34PM

I have found that it is possible to suspend downloads with wget for long periods and still be able to resume them, even if I have terminated and reconnected my internet connection. I have only used ctrl-z to suspend it (I am not sure if this differs from kill -STOP). Sometimes it takes a while to get going again, and sometimes it never does.
