Trying the same thing once in a root shell with wget, it starts out fine than fails 11900K into the transfer, with just a stall out, and the usb connection hosed again.
It\'s got a partial file saved, so I unplug and replug the usb cable, ifconfig it up from both ends again, restart with wget, and another 4100K into it, stalled again. Is this bad usb software support? Hardware? And on which end? Maybe the usb software on the Zaur isn\'t patient enough with the timeout to write to the SD card? Don\'t have anything else usb to test the desktop box with - but I was browsing for a few hours on this connection with no problem, it\'s just the downloading freezing it up. And my only other memory card is already holding my NAND backup, so I can\'t spare that to test with either.
I don\'t really want to depend on wget to not have made any errors in stitching partial files together, so guess I\'m off to explore other file transfer modes. Ack, wget isn\'t smart enough to stitch - just tries to download with an index appended anyhow.
Later: Reformatted the SD e2 and it still stalls the same way (this on wget, at 12050K).
Still later: This time it worked. Maybe an iffy SD card? Still, bad media shouldn\'t hang the connection....
