Basically that. I don’t do it much anymore, but it used to be helpful.

Wow, getright! That’s a throwback. I used that in the 90s.

On linux I use aria2c for similar tasks. It can resume http downloads, as well as split them up into multiple threads for faster downloading.

It’s cli-based and powerful (therefore perhaps a bit confusing at first), but there are UIs for it as well for a more get-rightty experience.

I think jdownloader also has some application here, though it’s mostly for getting things from those ad-filled file hosting sites frequently used by those on the high seas

In a moment of weakness and angry clients I once paid uce.

Shortly thereafter my credit card got stolen. That is the one time in my life that has ever happened. It was my business card which rarely get used.

Coincidence? Up to the reader.
