recently i having problems when download large files and connection temporarily stops at 90%. that make me crazy to wait more until i found solution on how to continue your download.

i'm using google chrome and download ubuntu 10 64bit. waiting about 3 hours @ 44kB/s. at 90%, connection disconnect and download stops at 449MB. damn. i'm searching in google and found this solution.


for all having same problem you can download wget.exe for windows in this website


copy into c:\windows folder and use wget -c http://[url] to continue. -c switch is for continue current downloads.
