Well, since you love that good ol’ command line, I’ll pass on to you something I found today out there on the Internets. scp (“secure copy”) is great, but it can’t resume a transfer that failed halfway in the middle.
What you can do instead, since you have rsync installed, is:
rsync --partial --progress --bwlimit=10 --rsh=ssh user@host:/remote/file/path /local/file/path
Works good!

Nice! Depending on what your downloading, that command may indeed “work good”.
I’m guessing this would work no matter the file’s form.
Not if you were downloading a Bad file!
