Downloading large files

[Johann Spies <jhspies@futurenet.co.za>]

I have a dialup-connection and a Zoltrix FMVSP56e modem. During the past
two weeks I have downloaded Staroffice for Linux and for Windows and also
an iso-image of Storm-Linux (a file of about 425 meg).

I used wget -c to download it, most of the time as a script in
/etd/ppp-up.d.

Of the tree files, only Staroffice for Linux was usable.  Both the other
downloaded files was corrupted.

Now my question:  Is there a more reliable way of downloading large files
on a dialup-connection than using wget?

Johann.
