- Jugurtha 5y agoIf modern browsers assume flawless internet connections, they'll be much worse than wget -c, at least at downloading large enough files for which there's a higher probability of something going wrong with certain internet connections. I need to be able to leave something downloading and be sure that, when I come back, the file is there. Now, would I do this if I had a 1Gbps? Probably not. But at 8Mbps, with an internet connection that only works if you offer intestines to gods, I have to.
