(VBScript) S3 Resume Download

Suppose an S3 download of a very large file failed for some reason and you have a partial file on disk. Rather than restart the entire download, you wish to download the remaining portion. This example demonstrates how to finish a previously failed download.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or above.
