How can I set up a (mandrake) linux computer so that it automatically resumes a large download whenever it is switched on or rebooted without requiring a logon first.

You can use cron and a @reboot specification. Check your manual for crontab(5)

Now there's an extremely useful little tidbit that will let me put off learning about startup scripts.
Time to go search for command line download managers. Anyone have any experience of Prozilla?

I would use "wget -c" but it is not exactly a download manager. It just continues a partial download.
