Newbie like question on KDE upgrade

[Matthew Carpenter]

I prefer using wget.  Once you learn the location of the ftp:// files, use
a command line and type:

wget -cm ftp://ftp.somehwere.com/pub/wherever/*

If the transfer dies, run this again and wget will recover where you left
off.  It will create a directory in the current directory called
"ftp.somewhere.com" and the directory structure to get to the files is
inside it.

I recommend this for all large transfers.  It is the best thing I've found
to d/l large/many files in Linux
