I see curl
supports partial downloads
-r, --range RANGE Retrieve only the bytes within a range
Example
curl -r 0-99 http://foo.com/bar.mp4
However, can wget
accomplish something similar?
Unfortunately wget
doesn't have this feature(at least with my GNU Wget 1.10.2 (Red Hat modified)
), which is very annoying. You can send the Range header with HTTP request, but doesn't work.
wget "http://www.example.com" -c --header="Range: bytes=0-99"
It returns
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 206 Partial Content
Giving up.
It seemed that the wget had the proper response, but strangely, it didn't finish it. For example with verbose mode output:
HTTP request sent, awaiting response...
HTTP/1.0 206 Partial Content
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Cache-Control: max-age=604800
Content-Range: bytes 0-99/1270
Content-Type: text/html
