In wget and aria2 this is done automatically by FlashGot's built-in integration bridges.
You just need to choose the same file name when you start the download.

Regarding cURL, at this moment the built-in template doesn't have the -C option which would resume the transfer.
You can create a custom download manager definition with the following command line template, though:

Code: Select all

-C -L -O [-o FNAME] [--referer REFERER] [-b COOKIE] [-d POST] [URL]

for wget and aria2: ok yes but i must remember the link?! :D i would a way that the link is stored in some plase! i cant understand the procedure if my download with aria2/wget is interruped and i want to resume them!

ora te lo scrivo in italiano, sono poco pratico dell inglese! se metto a scaricare un link con flashgot e aria2 per esempio, e interrompo senza segnarmi da nessuna parte il link che stavo scaricando, come faccio a fare il resume? i programmi con GUI memorizzano i files ma i programmi a linea di comando hanno una lista del genere?

ps sono agli inizi, sapresti consigliarmi tra aria2 curl e wget? ho visto che curl supporta molte + cose!

grazie

That's what visual download managers are made for.
None of the command line ones "remember" links, AFAIK.
You may write a script doing that for you, but there's a good reason for you not to use a visual one at this point?
Heck, FlashGot even supports the Windows-based ones through wine, so if you don't like Aria, nor Downloader 4 X, nor wxDownloader, you can still use Free Download Manager (just remember to enable the flashgot.useWine about:config preference).
