Dear Maintainer,

Currently resuming an interrupted download is not supported.  This can be
problematic on bad connections.  I've attached a patch which allows resuming
for both curl and wget.

Try to resume download from partially downloaded file. This is all but
necessary for bad connections.  Depends on curl_write_to_file patch.
