Hello,
When launching curl with the -C - switch to attempt to resume download of
an existing file, all works well: curl currently finds the offset, and
resumes. However, in the following scenario, there seem to be problems:
* curl launched with values for --retry and --retry-delay
* download of large file starts
* network goes down briefly
* curl retries
In this situation, curl continues writing at the end of the file, but the
download starts from the beginnning again.
Cheers,
Pete
