Buddy, have you ever considered using wget? Use the following command if hathway is causing your connection to stall / timeout:
wget -c --tries=0 --timeout=30 ftp://foo.com/foo.iso
It will try indefinitely and everytime your connection drops or stalls, it will wait 30s before retrying.
If you still have problems then try using rsync. It's supported on most servers. And have you considered a command line bittorrent client? If you can download through bittorrent then why not download the bittorrent client for GNU/Linux and give it a go??
Regards.

Thanks dinesh I really forgot about wget. Will surely try out these methods. As far as bittorrent is considered. I'm using ktorrent that comes with suse and for slackware I'm using azureus but I'm dissatisfied with both as I haven't seen speeds like I saw in BitComet even for the same torrents. Can someone suggest me another good bittorrent client available for linux and preferrably similar to bitcomet. Thanks
