Decent Download Manager

[Willy Hamra]

Steven's email earlier reminded me of this question.
is there any decent Download Manager in the world of Linux? i have a
horrible connection, goes off and on a lot during the day, which makes
it impossible for me to download any large file with no resume
capability.
i've seen quite a bunch of DMs so far, and they all fail horribly to
resume. kget in many times, and for no reson or warning, would start
from begining after days and days of downloading some DVD. the best DM
i've seen so far is the "Internet Download Manager" for windows. it
has all the functionalities i need. pause/resume, warns if file size
on server changed. if anything goes wrong, warns before restarting the
file. in many times it would only be a connection error, and the
download is still ersumable if i try again, other DMs just start from
0 with no warning. and it's GUI is really neat. unfortunately, it's
not free, and windows only. and have problems running under wine.
so is there anything similar for linux?
blieve it or not, i've been using wget for the past few months since
it does resume after an interruption, but i have no idea how to let it
download something sequentially, like stop it now, and ask it to
resume a certain link on this certain partially downloaded file. can
wget do such thing?
