Does anyone know if there exists any software or script or utility that
works just like an Internet Download Manager but for the office?

I want to copy large files (2-3gigs + or more) to remote offices
connected by WAN links.
As expected WAN links go down which means I have to start the copy
process from the beginning even though the copy was almost finished.

All of our sites use Windows servers.
Any suggestions appreciated.

wouldn't hang the whole shebang on failure, but would go through and copy
over only newer/changed files.....

e.g.:

robocopy <full path to source>\ <full path to destination>\ /e /r:2 /w:3

Remember to include double quotes if there are spaces.... "c:\my folder\my
subfolder"\
/e means, copy subdirs, even empty ones
/r:2 means, retry twice
/w:3 means, wait three seconds between retries

Etc.

robocopy /??? displays all parameters. I use robocopy a lot & it works well.
You can use it in scheduled batch files, via task scheduler, to do this
after hours....

That said, I hope it isn't truly expected that your WAN links go down
regularly....that's not a good thing, right?
