Re. How to continue an aborted d/l-ed BIG file ?

When I try:
curl -C - -o [48]http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wine/
wine-0.9.49-i486-1kjz.tgz
I get the error mesg: "curl: no URL specified!"

Thats because you haven't given in the output filename so curl assumes
that the URL is the filename. Try this instead:

curl -C - -o wine-0.9.49-i486-1kjz.tgz
http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wine/wine-0.9.49-i486-1kjz.tgz

Thanks, that works nicely. I got the file by 3 pieces.
A main feature of the internet: that it can recover from errors; needs to be
available on the large scale too ?

I thought -o would take the file-name of URL as a default.
But I suppose -o <FileID> is standard linux format ?
