Don't tell dlang:
wget --continue --tries=inf --timeout=1 url.
The server sometimes takes a break in the middle of the download,
I don't know why, probably a misconfiguration. With the low
timeout, you force wget to hammer the server again if this
happens to, presumably, give it a new "slot" and another burst of
speed. Usually you can get the file downloaded in 5 retries or so.
