You should provide the Range header (and probably If-Range too) in the
request.

Many thanks for your help.

Ug. Why does everything in Python boil down to reading rfcs? It really
slows us non computer science types down. I'll probably spend a day on
this instead of an hour. I did search the web but had no luck finding
an example, so I posted here as a last resort.

The easy way is to use wget...
If you want a Python example, go to the Python cookbook:
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/langs/python/
enter "resume download" in the search box, and the very first recipe shows
how to use the Range header.
