WgetPlus is a small patch of Wget 1.12
Added command line options
- --limit-rate-min . If the rate goes down below the specified amount Wget will restart the download. The option/should be used together with --continue and --tries=0 . The patch can come handy if the target can be downloaded from different mirrors and the current server slows down for some reason.
- --restart-every . If the option is given Wget will restart the download periodically. The option should be used together with --continue and --tries=0 . The patch can be used to test the load balancing between the servers. Be careful with this option - servers do not like frequent disconnections. Another interesting side effect - Rapidshare apparently does not count restarted downloads toward the premium account quota and keeps the quota unchanged despite the fact that the whole file is downloaded.
