Slightly OT: downloading Xcode

[Lagi Pittas]

Hi Graham,

How about using a download manager that does the chopping/zipping and
unchopping for you so you can be sure that when you restart all the bits
are ther.

There are a coupler of free ones and some paid for

the one i use is https://secure.internetdownloadmanager.com/buy_idm.html
and cost 9 pounds a year

Hope that helps
