Re: Wget fails to --continue download

[Darshit Shah]

--continue requires server side support. While a majority of the servers out 
there support it, not all do. Check the --debug logs to see if the server 
responds with a 200 OK or a 206 Partial Content response.

For --continue to work correctly, you need the server to respond with a 206 
Partial Content with the correct range.
