I got sick of getting 90% of a file by FTP and then getting disconnected
so I grabbed a copy of NetFinder 1.2 (all the usual suspects).  If you
'open' the partially downloaded file (which has a torn icon) it carries
on downloading where it got disconnected.  As with Fetch (which it
resembles) you can use it in the background while you're browsing the
web or downloading news.

I'm now a bit more likely to download those 4 Meg files at home.

Simon.
