I cannot complete the Slicer download.

I have tried using multiple connections in multiple countries (using various remote boxes) and each time the download fails partway through. Some of these connections have 1G capacities.

The download also cannot be resumed because of the server configuration, so using “wget -c” or “curl -c -” does not solve the problem.

Please provide direct download links that are resumable. This will fix the problem for many users.

I’ve always been able to use a command link this on a linux machine to get the latest Preview build. Does it work for you?

```auto
(cd ~/Downloads; curl -L "http://download.slicer.org/download?os=linux&stability=any&offset=0" | tar xvfz -)

```

Adding resumable downloads is something we’d like to do in the future but the current infrastructure does not support it.
