Resume download for large websites #218

Closed harrystuart closed 1 year ago

What is the best way to resume a download of a large website? I see there is a future feature planned to tackle this, but what is the current solution? Thanks.

There is no current "solution". One hacky way is to set --retries with a high enough value like 5 and just send the job to the background usually CTRL+Z. You can then resume with fg. The downside is that you can't reboot

Yeah, my concern is if my internet drops out. I suspect the download will take about a 3 days. The ability to resume download would be great - I look forward to that release. Cheers
