G'day,

It would be really advantageous if wget had a --range command line
argument, that would download a range of bytes of a file, if the
server supports it.

I've tried adding it with --header 'Range: bytes=from-to' but wget has
a problem with the 206 return code, and I can't see a way around that
on the command line.  An alternative might be an
--allow-returncode=206 option. ;)

Downloading partial files is really useful when you have a small USB
key and a large ISO. ;)

Thanks,
    Rob.
