Hi,

U can use range option........

eg
if you want to seek from offset 5 to 10 ,use
char * range;

strcpy( range ,"5-10")

and then set option using CURLOPT_RANGE
it works for downloads....I have got the results......

Infact I want to upload the file in the same way ......but range option
doesnot work......
If you have got the results please revert......
