Today I learned: if the scp (utility for copying files over SSH) process was interrupted, you can resume the transfer of the file(s) with rsync!

Especially handy with low-bandwidth and unstable connection.

Experimenting with almost forgotten old good stuff can have its own perks!

@abcdw
Also instead of running 'wget foo' you can use 'aria2c foo', and if you get interrupted you can continue with 'aria2c -c foo'

#TIL #wget #aria2

@abcdw I use rsync with compression if the limit is bandwidth and disable compression if CPU is a limiting factor. Also great for backups, mirroring and other uses as it has a lot of handy features.
