rsync with --partial seems to be working.  I've stopped/started several times 
now and the file size seems to be growing as expected.

I am going to try ncftp on some of the debian2.2r5-sparc ISO's if I can find 
them somewhere.  I tried the "jigdo-easy" method of getting debian ISO's and 
I had trouble with restarting a stopped job.
