This should do the job:
wget --tries=0 --continue --server-response --timeout=0 --retry-connrefused <file-url>
If it requires FTP or HTTP authentication, just add the following before <file-url>:
--user='username' --password='password'

Here's a detailed spec listing of the MSI X320 that I'm writing for my own references. This will be a work in progress. From the MSI Website:

Note: this document is a work in progress. I'll be adding more info to this as I get more things to work.
I would love to see Ubuntu 11.04 booting up on my MSI-X320. But due to the way they have built this, it needs a bit of work to get things working.
Only Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx seems to work for now.
Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat and Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal do not even boot into the Live CD.
Till some later kernels get the issues fixed, for now, I'll start with Ubuntu 10.04.

For the lazy home networking addicts (like me) out there, there are times when you hate to have to move over to your Rhythmbox machine to turn down the volume or to skip a song, especially when that machine is one room far away from where you are. :P
There are also times when you might want to change the music from the comforts of your cozy bed.
Whatever be your efficiency / productivity / "laziness" need, here is one good remote interface to remotely control your Rhythmbox player:
Rhythmote - a web interface plugin for Rhythmbox that does what it's named to do.

The latest Teracom LW272 3.6 Mbps 3G USB Data Card distributed by BSNL deserves some good comments for even the slightest efforts they have put, in bundling a Linux dialler application along with the Windows version.

Downgrading PHP to version 5.2
Why Downgrade?
Ubuntu 10.04 repositories, by default, have PHP version 5.3.
PHP 5.3 comes with a lot many improvements. But there are still many Drupal Third Party Modules which are yet to be ported to PHP 5.3, and so happens that Drupal 6 is not yet ready for PHP 5.3.
Till that is done (would take quite some time to happen), we would have to resort to downgrade to PHP 5.2.
How to Downgrade?
