I use WSFtp and every 20mins my download went to hell and was not resumable (for what reason I don't know) for another hour. On mIRC I only had to resume twice on a 400MB download and it worked fine every time.
.
So I can't give any ftp advice as it has not worked for me so far but I'll give a short IRC guide

1. Download some IRC client (I use mIRC)
2. connect to server irc.teambg.net

code:
/server irc.teambg.net
[/QUOTE]3. connect to channel #BGT
code:
/join #BGT
[/QUOTE]4. activate download by using the appropriate trigger. It's "!BGT3" currently, I think. Fi this doesn't produce results the trigger is different. Try to find it on the teambg-forums.
code:
!BGT3
[/QUOTE]5. get a directory listing
code:
dir
[/QUOTE]or
code:
ls
[/QUOTE]6. select the directory by typing "cd FULL DIRECTORY NAME INCLUDING SPACES"
code:
cd BGT MARK II
[/QUOTE]7. get another listing - if necessary another directory
code:
cd ONE FILE DOWNLOAD
[/QUOTE]8. get the file by "get filename"
code:
get bgt_distro_mark_ii.uha
[/QUOTE]Problems:
a. fileserver is full - come back later
b. too many sends and queue is full - come back later
c. too many sends - you get queued. Be sure to have your DCC settings on auto-accept files and chat requests or you will not get the file
d. I'm queued but my connection timed out - no problem, once you're up for receiving the server will contact you as long as you keep your IRC client open
e. When will the send slots be free? - use
"queues" and "sends" to see who else is receiving/queued

Hope I covered everything. And hope for a nice BGT discussion with you guys once you've downloaded and installed it
