Just so everyone knows (I didn't at first) is that ADC's FTP servers
support the resumption of downloads. I don't know how OmniWeb does it (or
if it does it), but in IE, double clicking on an unfinished download
causes it to resume.
Downloading something from the ADC FTP-server is always an exiting
adventure here. Since it's too expensive to download something from my own
internet account (about $0.10 per meg), I have to remotely log into a
Linux-server of a friend of mine and use wget. But the new system on that
WO-app doesn't let you just get a password, so I have to click on some
link, copy the password shown in OmniWeb's bar at the bottom by hand
(while it's there, which is for about 10 secs), click cancel, and start
the download via wget. Since his connection likes to drop, I had to
manually resume (including the whole process above) about 10 times for
some beta version, which took about one week. One week later, a new beta
was available...
