About process of downloading from berlios - can it be resumed? I has a very bad connection (modem, 26.4 kbit/s) - so if i try to download 5 mb file - i must to do this 4-5 times - it downloads to 60% for example, then error, then downloading again from 0%, then error in 45% and resume from 0% again..... may be it is any way to resume? any mirrors?

You are right it does not resume the download at where you were. But, I have been able to download the nightly build using SDM. I would try it and see if it errors out for you. I use the SVN normally to update codeblocks. But, unless I use SDM I can't seem to get a download that does not error out. I am using windows so Linux might have solutions that are better. I am using 56K modem connection.

Note: The SDM does resume for some sites for me.

Note 2: And, if you stop the download for Berlios it lets you choose to continue the download. I have no idea why pause does not let you resume. Resume is an FTP server function that all servers do not support.

Note 3: You can stop downloading a file (even after you paused it); and, then highlight the file and pick "Retry File" and it gives you the option to continue the download. If you get an error also use "Retry File".

Why don't you guys use wget?  :shock:

It doesn't need Java and is not mega-bloated and mega-slow like everything in Java. Plus... it *can* resume downloads...
