You don't "pause", you stop the download and make another resumed download
again later.

curl should probably warn you about this, but what exactly are you asking
here? A range or resume from? --range and -C are at least partly mutually
exclusive and I don't understand what you want it to do.

See, the first download got 20480 bytes when you stopped it and now it
continues there. The -C has effect, the --range is ignored/overridden.

... so it downloaded 36544 bytes in the second download.

Exactly. 20480 + 36544 = 57024

You may have wanted to only download that, but you didn't ask for only that.
