Thanks roni But look at the log closely. It states that the file was completely downloaded. Also, I've changed max. tries to 25. And am sure it hasn't used up that much cos that was only as 40 sumthing mb file whereas other files - FreeBSD cd1 and cd2 have downloaded around 50mb each and have only used up 3 tries each. About hathway massive download blocker, I don't think so cos when I had windows I used to download lotsa files using BitComet. BitComet worked really well for me alas it isn't available for linux. And what's so unmentionable about windows?
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??
