What will do this?

Have you ever tried d4x (aka nt) ? It work just like getright/flashget on windows, IIRC built on SuSE CD's since 8.2 and as default download manager of Galeon browser. -- syafril ------- Syafril Hermansyah

Jim, I find Konqueror, KBear or Krusader will continue any interrupted downloads nicely. I've never had problems with any of those and having to restart a download. Konqueror & KBear are included with your SuSE of course, Krusader is not any longer, although I'm not sure why. I have a SuSE rpm for 9.1 if you want to try it. Just contact me off list.
