Transfer your download from Firefox to wget

Hi,

I have to test  Pre-released Netbook with Ubuntu Netbook Remix (9.04), Now it’s known as Ubuntu Netbook Edition, that’s different story. So in hurry i started my download in Firefox. It was fine for me. But suddenly my friend called me to go for 3 Idiots, So i opened www.bookmyshow.com to book the ticket, but found very slow speed due to UNR download.  So i stopped it, booked ticket for 3 idiots, Bingo!!!

But, i have to also resume my old UNR download. Opps!!! When i pressed “Resume” button on Firefox Download Manager, It has thrown some error, i was not bothered about it, because it’s common for me. But this time i was more excited about to solve that problem. Just got the access of /bin/bash in mood of some hacking / shacking .

Here is  my  code snap shot”

I hope you would  have got my so called “Hack / Shack”.  That was so straight, not more then 10 seconds . Anybody can test it for me, if we restart the machine? Are we able to start the download with same hack? Next lesson for you…

Now, time for 3 Idiots
