[plug] wget query

[Michael Hunt]

So what is the command line you are using.

Form my past experience the following should work (unless there is something
wrong at the server end:

wget -c http://www.webhost.com/~username/index.html

(The -c is for continuous wget. i.e. if there is a failure continue from
where it left off).
