Re: [Synaptic-devel] Synaptic-devel Digest, Vol 116, Issue 1

I don't know, maybe, but I use the File -> Create package download
script option a lot.  It makes scripts which call wget once per file
with a -c (continue) option.  You can slice and dice, run parts of it
at a time.  You can even put a line like
limit-rate=4k
in your /etc/wgetrc to save some bandwidth for something else.  I
usually make an empty directory, save the script into it and run it
from there.  Then I use the File -> Add downloaded packages option to
browse to that directory and install them all.  To make sure you don't
have any partial files, just run the script over again and it checks
every file for a size match, it will finish downloading any partials.
