I'm trying to use plink to execute command from file. So I use it this way:
plink -ssh user@host -pw pass -batch -m "path_to_script"
But unfortunately plink never return to terminal. I also tried something like:
plink -ssh user@host -pw pass -batch -m "path_to_script" > /dev/null 2>&1
But t...
Broadcom networking hardware is notoriously flaky. I'd recommend looking for something well-supported by Linux. As a general rule, anything which is free is better supported by anything non-free. Remember, your time has value too. There is a hardware recommendations site you could ask at if you want. — Faheem Mitha18 secs ago
But people seem to spend inordinate amounts of time trying to get <some_low_value> hardware working. Life is too short, imo.

@FaheemMitha No, that's just a downloader. Download managers tend to be gui things that claim to download things faster. I don't think I've used one since I was on Windows almost 20 years ago.
@FaheemMitha Faster than it would go without a download manager. As I said though, I haven't touched one since the 90ies. At the time, using one would make my downloads go faster than when not using it.
Nope. Not even if it does. I would guess it splits into smaller files/separate processes and downlaods them in the background or something. I really don't know though.
@FaheemMitha @terdon They performed that trick by using Range: requests to download multiple parts of the file in parallel. It was faster if the server was overloaded (and balanced per TCP stream) by taking more than your fair share, or if the bandwidth*delay product was too high (quite possible with older versions of Window's tiny TCP windows)
