Resume download on update
Hello,
There is a problem with large files in SVN that when you use low-speed and
unstable Internet connection like GPRS it is nearly impossible to make a
checkout/update. Usually connection should be kept for a reasonable amount
of time to complete download, but in reality sometimes it doesn't happen. I
wonder if there are any plans to add resume capability to checkout/update
data exchange to work around flaky connection timeouts?

You are absolutely right. When I have one 400Mb file and my connection hangs
- I have to break SVN process manually and after restart incomplete
temporary file is removed.
I even created a script to add file to wc manually. I believe it was 1.3.x
series, but I remeber using it with 1.4.x wc as well.

Erm, I think his question was about resuming individual files, which
svn doesn't support. Anatoly, can you clarify?

Sure, if you lose the connection, just run 'svn update' to finish the
download. Checkouts and updates have been restartable since svn 1.0.
