Dial up and Bittorrent

[Ersan]

Different torrent clients contact the tracker at different intervals and in different ways. A client like BitComet (http://www.bitcomet.com) may accomplish what you need. It *should* query the tracker indefinitely, even if it is unreachable for a time. If it can't connect to the tracker it will re-establish connection with the peers you had before the connection dropped once you are reconnected.

Indeed torrents manage chunks of files, that's supposedly what makes the BitTorrent protocol so ingenious... As far as I'm concerned it's a ripoff of eDonkey, eMule and Overture - but to each their own. Torrents are always resumable, and clients check hashes extremely often so it's nearly impossible to recieve a corrupt file.

IMO if u have dail up Bittorrent isn't the best option for downloading stff... use ftp/http sites, limewire(no kazaa, just limewire or limewire pro)...
