wget: A good download manager?

[Joel Hammer]

Just a question for my own information.

wget in "info wget" claims to be a good download manager. That is to say,
it can restart the download if the connection is lost. Does someone have
experience who can verify this?

And, if you have experience with wget, do you have any experiences with
wget which might be useful to share with someone just starting to use it?

Thanks,
Joel
