Will script resume after incomplete download? #33

Hi, I would just like to say that this is a fantastic script; it looks like the perfect solution to the problem I was having being stuck using Linux Mint 17's TeXLive 2013, so thanks!

It looks like because of poor network connectivity, the download of TexLive 2016 from the fastest available repo will take ~11 hours. So I will probably have to kill it, as our machines here at work get automatically shut down after work hours. Will the script be able to figure out where it left off in a subsequent run?

@ericrpatton I don't know how resuming works after e.g. shutting down the computer. Are you able to suspend the computer? That might work better.

A better approach is probably to download the iso. You can easily resume downloading the iso (e.g. use wget and --continue). Once the iso is downloaded, you can use the "--iso" option of install-tl-ubuntu. Does that work?

Note that I think this is related to #31.
