FTP "reget" option

Dear Group,

Please, tell me where I may get an FTP client for
Windows 3.11, which has "restart" or "reget" option. I was
given a PPP connection (for free) from George Soros'
International Scientific Foundation (ISF, Kiev Branch). But
their name server is overrun by users' calls during most of
the day and I can access it only from 01.00 to 07.00.
Generally, there is only 300-800 bps speed of transfer,
which makes files larger then 500k almost unaccessible for
me. Last night I tried to pull out a 1.8M file from the USA.
That was very stupid. I went around my PC all night long
like a hungry jakal around a dying elephant but, alas. The
transfer was aborted at around 08.00 after I got a 0.7M
portion. Well, someone's surfing -- someone's "snailing".

:-(

I found a utility from ftp.download.com, which can
retrieve files in several sessions ("GetRight" shareware)
but again, it is too large for me (1.140M zip) and it
requires Windows95. I also tried to download an evaluation
copy of WS_FTP from Ipswitch.com (both "Profesional" and
"Limited Edition") but all transfers (6 attempts) were
aborted after approx. 100K had been done.

I shall appreciate it highly if somebody tell me where I can
get a "reget" (not very large and for Windows3.11).

Thanks in advance,

Vadim.
