In Linux we have a command wget -c with which we can continue or resume the download of the unfinished files. In python, by importing the wget library, I am not able to do the following feature. Wget -c also restricts the re-downloading of the preexisting file. Can anyone help me in finding a wget -c equivalent in wget library of python.?

I don't know how wedded you are to the wget library, or if you could use alternatives.

You could do the same with urllib2

See this answer to a similar question about resuming a download when a problem arises.

For HTTP you can use Requests library. It's elegant and simple. This script can be halpfull to download files, resume downloads and validate downloads.
