My favorite is lftp, another command line ftp. My favorite usage
involves mirroring, but it allows scripting and background downloads.
Hmm. Has bookmarks. As far as continuing to download after a failed
connection auto-magicaly: there's this in the man page:

       ftp:max-retries (number)
              the maximum number  of  sequential  retries  of  an
              operation without success.


And it's debianized.
