9 If you uncomment the FETCHCOMMAND line in /etc/make.conf (after you merge
10 prozilla), you can add the '-r' option to it (the prozilla command) and it
11 will automatically check for downloads to resume when started.

13 Speaking of prozilla, I think it nees some patches to work well with gentoo.
14 I like to (like alot of people I assume) start big emerge commands before
15 going out or going to bed, it is _very_ irritating to do that just to
16 discover that prozilla came up with a 404 error or that it is waiting for a
17 keypress (on a failed login). wget dosetn run into these problems (it seems
18 to be able to find the file that gives prozilla a 404).
