There are no combination of options that will cause WWWOFFLE not to
get the whole file again. WWWOFFLE does not support partial
downloads, I don't see that it is a particularly important feature.
It is also not a very simple one to implement due to the number of
possible conditions that need to be handled (file changed on server,
server doesn't handle partials, file in cache incomplete etc.)

Don't copy the file from the cache by hand if it causes a problem.
Use the correct tools for the job:
wwwoffle -o URL
