As time of my Skype telco came, I suspended the download not to limit my bandwidth for the call.
What a surprise when I found that I got no chance to continue (3.1 out of 4.4 GB were already "home").
Fortunately, wget command line tool got handy:
- I located the (partially) downloaded file on my disk.
- Found the url, used to download the file
- Called wget from command line (being in the same folder as was the downloaded file):
$ wget -c <URL> - then waited till I got it all and complete.
- checking MD5 checksum proved, the files is (very likely) to be downloaded correctly.
I am running MS Windoews and have wget already installed as part of my Linux set of command line goodies.
Wget for windows can be found here http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm
Alternatively, you may use culr:
$ curl -C - -L -O <URL>
You may also start downloading this way directly, cancle it any time and start again to continue. There is no need to get into troubles with Google Chrome.
