Resume is mostly working now, although i realise i should be checking some
timestamps chich i shouldnt be hard.

If i chop off the end of the local file and resume downloading, it does
resume the download and works perfectly.
However i still have a small problem when i resume an already complete
download, the download fails with file not found.

The following is a summery of my code and some output.

        curl = curl_easy_init();

        res = curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);
        res = curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
        <determine url>
        res = curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, full_url);
        < make sure path for download target exists >
        < open file (out_stream) in append mode >
        res = curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FILE, out_stream);
        res = curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER, error_buffer);
        res = curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM, local_file_length);
        /* Start the actual transfer */
        res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
        if (res == 0) {
                local_files[local_num]->flag = RETR_DONE;
        } else {
                local_files[local_num]->flag = RETR_FAILED;
                printf("retreval (might have) failed for\t%s, %s\n", full_url,
error_buffer);
        }
        <cleanup>
