I recommend the curl-users mailing list for questions about curl the command
line tool. You've reached the curl-library list, where we tend to discuss
libcurl issues.

It can be made like this:

        curl -O -C - http://myfile.com/myfile.zip

Yes, if there's still data to be received or sent, curl waits for it to
transfer.

You use a libcurl binding for your favourite programming language and program
your own client to do that. curl the tool does not offer that option.

Good luck!
