Hi,

if I understood you correctly (I am not sure about which example you are refering), I should do the following:
1. check already downloaded file size in bytes = downloaded
2. url = 'http://video.hrt.hr/2906/otv296.mp4'
3. req = urllib.request.Request(url)
4. req.add_header('Range', downloaded)
5. urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, 'otv296.mp4')

Is that what you were saying?

Regards.
