it is a HTTP feature that allows clients to request only a part of a
resource. E.g. you've already downloaded 90Mb of a 100Mb file and your
connection drops, with a Range request (and assuming the server supports
it) you can request only the remaining 10Mb in your next attempt.
You can ask wget to use a range request with the -c option and using an
existing file. The development version of wget offers a new --start-pos
option, if you would like to specify the range by yourself.
If you need more details about this HTTP feature:
