I strongly suggest looking at ncftpget (or just ncftp if you are using
an older distro). ncftp has options galore for handling everything to
do with FTP. The option you are looking for is '-r'
-r XX Redial a maximum of XX times until connected to
the remote FTP server.
So something like this should work:
ncftpget -r 99
ftp://ftp.domain.com/pub/something.iso
That might even take care of resuming partial/broken downloads as well.
