Retriever allows you to download large files easier and with more control than from your web browser, with it you can resume interrupted downloads at any time that's convenient or even schedule downloads to occur when you're away from your computer.
Even if one server is too busy to accomodate you Retriever will automatically switch to another to continue your download. You can temporarily pause your download and resume it instantly a few minutes later. No matter how many times your download will stop, Retriever will resume every time.
