[rock-user] Download script can't handle interruptions?

Hi,

I'm brand new to this, checked out the 2.0 "Trunk", and tried to go through
a minimal configuration/download/build cycle. My router sucks big time,
meaning I usually get dozens of 1-sec or multi-sec temporary losses of
Internet connectivity. It looks like my overnight download session has left
a complete mess, certainly trying to build showed lots of missing source
files, while re-running the Download scripts produces all sorts of
interesting phenomena which I will get to know and love/hate. Obviously the
script is blacklisting URLs that are requested during any of my shortages,
but this doesn't seem to be the only problem. Also trying to resume an
individual file seems to fail (I manually interfered with the very first
archive it tries to download, "kernel-headers" if I'm not mistaken). Call me
spoilt, but Debian's apt-get has the virtue of finishing interrupted
multi-downloads if you call it enough times (I guess your improvement here
is the auto-detection scripts). Am I supposed to read the fine manual to
make Rock's scripts behave like apt or some major rewrites of the Download
code are in order?
Thanks,

Anastasios
