* Wget works exceedingly well on slow or unstable connections,
retrying the document until it is fully retrieved, or until a
user-specified retry count is surpassed. It will try to resume the
download from the point of interruption, using `REST' with FTP and
`Range' with HTTP servers that support them.
HTTP/1.1 servers are supposed to be able to support retrieval of documents
by byte range. This requires support both in the server and the client
or it won't work.
