title: How to resume an ftp download at any point? (shell script, wget option)?
body: <p>I want to download a huge file from an ftp server in chunks of 50-100MB each. At each point, I want to be able to set the "starting" point and the length of the chunk I want. I won't have the "previous" chunks saved locally (i.e. I can't ask the program to "resume" the download).</p>
  
  <p>What is the best way of going about that? I use <code>wget</code> mostly, but would something else be better?</p>

  <p>I'm really interested in a pre-built/in-build function rather than using a library for this purpose... Since <code>wget</code>/<code>ftp</code> (also, I think) allow resumption of downloads, I don't see if that would be problem... (I can't figure out from all the options though!)</p>

  <p>I don't want to keep the entire huge file at my end, just process it in chunks... fyi all - I'm having a look at <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1177102/continue-ftp-download-afther-reconnect">continue FTP download afther reconnect</a> which seems interesting..</p>
