Thats irrelevant. If there is no connection it will bring up a connection. If
the net connection is already there it will just try to reconnect from the
timeout or break. If it is built on the source of wget as I have heard then
it will NOT retry if the reason was because the file did not exist or if it
was REFUSED by the server.
What I dont understand is why you are losing the connection. Are you trying to
keep open an inactive connection to someones ftp server? If so then of course
it will time you out; other people want to connect too.
If you are losing connection while a transfer is in progress continuously then
you need to look at other issues.
FTP Transfer is in progress, most probably in passive mode. DSL
connection on the other side of the firewall does not drop down. File
transfer stops due to the FTP server socket/connection close and KGet
does not resume the file transfer. Resuming by hand immediately resumes
the file transfer while KGet seems to never ever try to automatically
resume it.
Any idea ?
