There are two commandline utilities you can use that should cope with
interruptions better than Safari, curl and wget. curl comes as default
with OS X, wget is downloadable as part of Fink, on it's own, or
compile it yourself from source.
Simple instructions for curl.
- Open up Terminal.app
- Navigate to the folder you want to save the file to, eg cd
~/downloads/
- Enter the following command:
curl -u postal2mac:p33p33Hz
http://0day.icculus.org/private/postal2beta/postal2-mac-beta1.dmg -o
postal2-mac-beta1.dmg
You can also miss out the username and password and curl will prompt
you for them.
If you've got wget the syntax is wget --http-user=<username>
--http-passwd=<password> <full path of download>, so you'd type
wget --http-user=postal2mac --http-passwd=p33p33Hz
