@Cyeb, yes I have mentioned about wget on the web site, as similar but not with the partial option. I checked the curl web site but it also do not have this intentional partial download option. Please correct me if I am wrong. I did googled before developing "partial download" application, but could not find one.

Well.. Actually cURL does include a partial download, as stated in my comment up there.  I downloaded cURL from here:
And tried both Partial Download and cURL on this image here:

Here's an example on getting 1500 bytes for both programs:

Anandcoral, both programs have their own benefits, of course.  Partial Download has much easier syntax to understand as well as (hopefully in the future :D) the possibility of a partial Youtube video download.  cURL provides more flexibility, but is a bit harder to understand.

I hope I don't offend you by posting here, but you know.  The facts are the facts, and cURL did get there 12 years before you did.  ;)  But like I said, your software may open up the possibility for partial Youtube downloads, which cURL can not do, so it wasn't all for nothing!  Keep up the good work!

My mistake...I meant to say cURL instead of wget.

Haven't you heard of wget?  :P
