[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
