Hello, I recently downloaded and tried Wget, and found it to be a great program. I have one suggestion though; it would be nice if we could specify a range to be downloaded (via a --range=1309-2923 commandline option, for example). This would enable users to get a few corrupt bytes from a large file they downloaded, or (more importantly) allow wget frontends to run multiple threads simultaneously to download different file segments (wget-1.9.1b.zip.1, wget-1.9.1b.zip.2, etc) and then join them all in one big file when they are done downloading.
