You need to use a Range: header. I don't know what you mean when you say "this 
server doesn't have any headers". All HTTP requests and responses use headers.  
Possibly you mean you code isn't setting any headers.

What you need to do is separate your call to urlretrieve into a call to 
construct a Request object, add a Range header, then fetch the URL using the 
Request object, appending the results (if successful) to the end of your local 
file.

If you go to:

  https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.request.html#urllib.request.urlretrieve

and scroll up you will find example code doing that kind of thing in the 
examples above.
