Download times out over a bad Internet connection #251

Open ForestDude opened 2 years ago

ForestDude commented 2 years ago

I have tried ten or more times over the last day to download 10.13.6 and it always times out due to my bad internet connection. I am on starlink internet out in the sticks without any other ISP options.

Is there a way to have the py script restart the download from where it left off like wget:
wget -c --read-timeout=5 --tries=0 "$URL"

This is the best I usually see, I have left it open all night and it never restarts the download: screenshot

You can just have gibMacOS print out the urls instead of downloading the files - then use whatever download application you prefer instead.

Thank you for your prompt response, it turned out that my old router was on the fritz and I switched back the the provided StarLink router my internet is rock solid.

I am now able to download the complete High Sierra package with your script in under 10min.
