A similar feature is being tracked at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wget.patches/2468
I would probably implement only one of the above two options (most
likely the second, since that maps directly to the Range header).
> ADD OPTION:

This one hasn't really been discussed, and seems like it could be useful.
One way to implement it might be to just use the proposed --range option
combined with -c to have this meaning.
