I prefer wget -c URL over firefox download any time.

Some sites won't give you a link to download, and will force you to download via javascript and/or posts through the browser.

You then let it start, then cancel, right click, copy download link, then use wget on the machine you want the file on.

(Back in the days before tcp window scaling, I tended to use axel)
