In KGet on the: "Connection" tab check all three: "Reconnect Options" but it doesn't seem to be as tenacious as WGet.
It simply doesn't work at all in kde 3.2.1 (and earlier). In CVS, kget does reconnect when a connection to a server got lost (like, server not responding), but your connection to the internet is still working.
However, when kget detects a lost internet connection, it switches all running transfers to "delayed" and they are _not_ resumed when the connection is reestablished (see Bug 73638).
I've send in a patch that fixes this, but got no reaction so far.
Until then, in case you compile yourself, a quick'n'dirty (TM) fix would be:
In file "transfer.cpp" around line 740. In function "void Transfer::slotExecPause()"
replace the line
mode = MD_DELAYED;
with
mode = MD_QUEUED;
With this, running downloads get queued when the connection is lost. Note that this changes the behaviour of the "Pause" button.
Could you please post the patch on the bug report,
Or, send me a copy,
Or, post it at: kde-quality@xxxxxxx with a request for people to test it.
Thanks.
