--continue-at

Resume a previous transfer from the given byte offset. The given offset is the exact number of bytes that are skipped, counting from the beginning of the source file before it is transferred to the destination. If used with uploads, the FTP server command SIZE is not used by curl.

Use "-C -" to instruct curl to automatically find out where/how to resume the transfer. It then uses the given output/input files to figure that out.
