I'm not interested in downloading a 650 MB file on a dialup connection.

Then you are smarter than you look.

Figures. Typical Linux user, lashing out personal insults. It's no wonder I don't care for Linux users.

I routinely download 600-700+ Mb files over dialup. I have a cron job that checks a list of file URL's and protocols I save while surfing, and when I'm sleeping it wget's the file list with the continuation flag so that downloads can span several evenings and dynamic IP sessions. When I have what I want and the MD5 sums check out, I burn. Works like a charm.
