I ought to put a plug in for the little utility GetRight.

I found it many many years ago and has saved me thousands of minutes (if not hours) in re-downloading files, resuming files, busting through tight bandwidth restrictions and connection ratios.

I used it today to download the latest JRE from Sun, something that IE failed to download due to a “connection timeout”  .

What’s even better is that the license I bought back in 1999 (!) is still valid for the latest version 6; although I did need to request an updated code for it to validate.
