curl -Cmay work as well
Authored by: imacusr on Apr 01, '02 04:37:14AM
at least, according to the man page:

       -c/--continue
              Deprecated.  Use '-C -' instead.  Continue/Resume a
              previous file transfer. This instructs curl to con-
              tinue  appending data on the file where it was pre-
              viously left, possibly because of a broken  connec-
              tion  to the server. There must be a named physical
              file to append to for this to work.   Note:  Upload
              resume  is  depening  on  a  command named SIZE not
              always present in all ftp servers! Upload resume is
              for  FTP  only.   HTTP resume is only possible with
              HTTP/1.1 or later servers.

I find curl much better than wget, it supports every single protocol and it is really easy to use. I hope somebody would develop a frontend with browser plugin. All download managers I 've used have very high per cent of corrupted downloads (won't unstuff etc...). That never happened with curl.

In particular, you have to read carefully. There is a second dash in there which lets curl know to use the file's current length instead of a supplied number. So it'd go something like:

curl -C - -o /Users/dragon/3d-klondike-10a.hqx

I, too, like curl and it comes pre-installed so is easier to use for most people.
