does winetricks resume earlier download progress?

Post by pewekodok »

I tried to install gdiplus and other dll using my unreliable internet connection.
Everytime connection drop, I have to download it from zero not from the point the last time connection drop.

does winetricks have option to resume download?

or I can download dll manually, and then use winetricks to install it properly?
If anyone know about installing dll manually, without winetricks help, please tell me.

No, winetricks has no option to resume downloads. It does cache downloads in ~/.cache/winetricks/nameofverb (e.g., gdiplus would be in ~/.cache/winetricks/gdiplus) and looks for them there before downloading, so you can download them yourself and just save them there. However, make sure you are downloading the exact file winetricks does, because winetricks checks the sha1sum of the file and will refuse to install if they don't match. In the case of gdiplus (and many other dlls), you don't really need winetricks to install it, as all winetricks does is copy it to the wineprefix's /system32 directory (for a 32 bit wineprefix) and set the override.

It's a script. You can open it in any plain text editor and read it.

Reread my previous post.
