   I think it is impossible with urllib.

   It is possible with Apache (apache supports HTTP Ranges) and httplib,
but you'll need some coding. Learn about HTTP headers, especially Ranges.
   It is also possible with FTP and ftplib, but again, you'll need some
coding, and not all FTP servers support download resuming. Learn about ftp
commands.
   We'll very much appreciate if you post your working code here. Good luck.

Oleg.
