That's why you should use wget if you're going to get it via http ;-)  (the
'-c' option is 'continue')

In somewhat related news, but on the bittorrent side, just for fun I set the
max_upload_rate to 0 (which, in classic computer scienceunrestricted) after I
got the x86_64 image and seeded to see how much actual upload bandwidth
Verizon gives me.  It's been doing a pretty steady 200-220KB/s (about
1.5Mb/s).  It doesn't take long to get into the GB range of uploaded bytes at
that rate...

I need to go back and figure out how much traffic-in-a-month they consider
'abusive' so I know when to shut it down...
