I've found out yesterday that proz has the following bad habit. If a piece of the file to download already exists, it wouldn't continue. It can only abort or backup the piece. I was downloading GNUWin II ISO with wget, and interrupting it from time to time and then starting again, with `wget -c'. It went fine. In the middle I recalled that there's prozilla, cast it, and tried `proz -r' on the same URL. It only offered me to "abort" or "backup the file". How does its "recovery" mechanism work then if it can't simply continue?
