if you want to download something from a server that doesn't support
download resuming,then you might be in problem if you have a unreliable
internet connection. in that case, you can upload that file to a server
that supports resuming download, from where you can download it later
using a download manager. remote upload is also handy if you are a
webmaster and you want to upload something to your server that can be
downloaded from internet. rather than downloading the file to your PC
and again re-uploading it via FTP, you can use a PHP script that will
download the file directly to your web server. it will work on most
webservers if PHP is not severely restricted. there are many remote
upload scripts on the net, but the script from http://www.frontbass.com/other_tools/scripts/ is
really simple.
