I assume you meant that range to be 10000001-20000000 (with a dash, not a
comma between the numbers).

You asked for the byte range starting at offset 10000001 and you wanted it to
end at byte offset 20000000. If your transfer gets aborted and you only got
the first X bytes, then you can get the remainders with a range like (10000001
+ X)-20000000.
