Our broadband is Comcast (at home)
Ubuntu and RHEL are the OSes

I prefer downloading RHEL DVD images instead of the CD images.
Comcast prefers I download CD images and kills the DVD image downloads.
Comcast also hoses my broadband connect and the cable modem and linksys
router must be reset.

I would like to be able to restart the DVD image download at the point that
it was stopped by Comcast.

(Comcast also hoses downloads of multiple CD images also.
(I download Ubuntu, Solaris, RHEL server/workstation, OpenSolaris
infrequently.
(It happens that OpenSolaris & Ubuntu have come out the same month and I am
upgrading my workstation to RHEL 5.
