Pause and resume CURL request from the command line
Technical Director
If you are downloading a large file with curl like this ...
curl http://www.example.com/some-massive-file.zip -O some-massive-file.zip
When the day ends and you have to go home with still more downloading to do.
Just hit Control-C to kill the curl command, go home then type this in to resume:
curl -C - http://www.example.com/some-massive-file.zip -O some-massive-file.zip
You’re welcome.
