RESUMING FILE TRANSFERS
To continue a file transfer where it was previously aborted, curl supports
resume on http(s) downloads as well as ftp uploads and downloads.
Continue downloading a document:
curl -C - -o file ftp://ftp.server.com/path/file
Continue uploading a document(*1):
curl -C - -T file ftp://ftp.server.com/path/file
Continue downloading a document from a web server(*2):
curl -C - -o file http://www.server.com/
(*1) = This requires that the ftp server supports the non-standard command
SIZE. If it doesn't, curl will say so.
(*2) = This requires that the web server supports at least HTTP/1.1. If it
doesn't, curl will say so.
2. try:
curl -C - -o file
ftp://debian.sh.cvut.cz/DATA/debian-cd/3.1_r0a/i386/iso-dvd/debian-31r0a-i386-binary-1.iso
or
curl -C - -O
ftp://debian.sh.cvut.cz/DATA/debian-cd/3.1_r0a/i386/iso-dvd/debian-31r0a-i386-binary-1.iso
or
curl -C 200000
ftp://debian.sh.cvut.cz/DATA/debian-cd/3.1_r0a/i386/iso-dvd/debian-31r0a-i386-binary-2.iso
-O
it will download again from *beginning*.
CURL does NOT continue a file transfer where it was previously aborted.
I have tested this on 3-4 FTP/HTTP servers.
Much thanks for, curl is beating wget on my servers!
