Subject: How to continue an aborted d/l-ed BIG file ?

I'm trying to use 'curl' to d/l a 11Mb binary of 'wine' via my dialup connection, which aborted after 309 Kb d/l. curl -I http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wine/ wine-0.9.49-i486-1kjz.tgz >> garrHdr looks OK and shows me:---------- HTTP/1.1 200 OK Accept-Ranges: bytes Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2007 03:13:13 GMT Content-Length: 11754882 <-- YES !! ~ 11Mb Content-Type: application/x-tar Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) Last-Modified: Tue, 13 Nov 2007 01:32:06 GMT ETag: "113fba-b35d82-6aac5180" Content-Encoding: x-gzip Via: 1.1 nc5-rba (NetCache NetApp/5.5R6D17DEBUG1) Whereas the man says: Use "-C -" to tell curl to automatically find out where/how to resume the transfer. It then uses the given output/input files to figure that out. When I try: curl -C - -o http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wine/ wine-0.9.49-i486-1kjz.tgz I get the error mesg: "curl: no URL specified!" So then I tried: curl -C - http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wine/ wine-0.9.49-i486-1kjz.tgz >> newFileID2 But it just started to re-d/l from the BEGINNING & aborted after 903Kb ! Please, what should I do ? == Chris Glur.
