Re^2: Background downloading service

I've used wget a lot for other things, the problem here is that you set the bandwidth limit at the beginning and can't change it later.

In my case I could be partway through a huge (10 hours or so) download and notice that it's time to reduce bandwidth usage.

wget also supports resuming partial downloads - if the server supports that, too. One could check if that is the case on startup of a session, then there should be no problem interrupting and re-starting later, if it's necessary. --shmem _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.
