Is there a hack to workaround this? I've done the above many times,
deleting a partial, but I've also tried chopping a bit off the end of
the download and attempting to resume from that (probably used dd to
copy a couple of meg less than the partial download's size). IIRC
rtmpdump was upset the partial file was the wrong size or didn't align
with the progress through the stream, and I didn't look into things any
further.

I don't have lots of bandwidth at home, I'm on a phone with an older
radio (280-300k max) and sometimes Three's fair use system is unfair,
there's weather, reception/phone placement.... I'm interested in being
able to sometimes rescue a download even if it is a bit of a ball-ache.
It's sod's law that a programme I would like to watch whilst it
downloads fails whilst the mobile network is being mean with data.
