Thank you very much indeed! This is just what I was looking for. ADC keeps throwing me off at the mo, presumably because everyone is downloading the gm of Leopard.

Martin: I take that back. When I do it your way, it throws away what it's downloaded before retrying.

Jesper: I'd expect it to work across sleeping if you use --speed-limit.

Martin: That's much better--thanks! However, unfortunately -O uses the original, not redirected, filename.

You should be able to just use
`curl -O URL --location --cookie-jar $(mktemp -t curl) --retry 100 -C -`.
`--location` takes care of handling the redirection, `--cookie-jar` will take care of storing the cookie (in a new file called /tmp/curl.XXXXXXXX if you the same mktemp call).

Safari 3: Yes.

`curl`: Across sleeping?

Jesper: Are you using Safari 3? It works for me with Safari 3, but I don't have that installed. It's never worked for me with Safari 2 (after the first 15 minutes). The other advantage to using curl is that it will resume immediately, without your having to be there to click a button.

I was able to resume the Leopard seed download using the resume button in Safari's Downloads not only past the 15 minute login session but across machine sleep and a few hours after I accidently put the machine to sleep.
