Can't continue installation when file already exists

[postmodern]

Known issue. See issue #60.

Issue #60 was closed, with what appears to be a Rubunius-specific fix. But this issue still occurs for MRI, etc.:

curl: (33) HTTP server doesn't seem to support byte ranges. Cannot resume.
!!! Download of http://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.0/ruby-2.0.0-p353.tar.bz2 failed!

Should this issue be re-opened?

@jimothyGator I cannot seem to reproduce this with curl 7.29.0 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.29.0 NSS/3.15.2 zlib/1.2.7 libidn/1.26 libssh2/1.4.3.

This was on Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)

curl 7.30.0 (x86_64-apple-darwin13.0) libcurl/7.30.0 SecureTransport zlib/1.2.5
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smtp smtps telnet tftp 
Features: AsynchDNS GSS-Negotiate IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz 

I get the error when I run:

ruby-install ruby 2

(For the benefit of those coming to this issue from Google, as did I, to recover from an interrupted download or build, run rm ~/src/ruby-2.0.0-p353.tar.bz2, or whatever file you're having an issue with).

Interesting, I can interrupt the download and resume without error. It's only when the file is completely downloaded that curl fails.

@jimothyGator this appears to be a known issue with curl: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2013-04/0047.html One workaround would be to install wget.

@postmodern See my pull request #100. It will first try curl with resume, then re-try it without resume if that fails.
