+@cindex offset
+@cindex continue retrieval
+@cindex incomplete downloads
+@cindex resume download
+@cindex start position
+@item --start-pos=@var{OFFSET}
+Start downloading at zero-based position @var{OFFSET}. Offset may be expressed
+in bytes, kilobytes with the `k' suffix, or megabytes with the `m' suffix, etc.
+
+@samp{--start-pos} has higher precedence over @samp{--continue}. When
+@samp{--start-pos} and @samp{--continue} are both specified, wget will emit a
+warning then proceed as if @samp{--continue} was absent.
+
+Server support for continued download is required, otherwise @samp{--start-pos}
+cannot help. See @samp{-c} for details.

@cindex progress indicator
@cindex dot style
@item --progress=@var{type}
any of the wildcard characters, @samp{*}, @samp{?}, @samp{[} or
@samp{]}, appear in an element of @var{acclist} or @var{rejlist},
it will be treated as a pattern, rather than a suffix.
+In this case, you have to enclose the pattern into quotes to prevent
+your shell from expanding it, like in @samp{-A "*.mp3"} or @samp{-A '*.mp3'}.
@item --accept-regex @var{urlregex}
@itemx --reject-regex @var{urlregex}
Ignore case when matching files and directories. This influences the
behavior of -R, -A, -I, and -X options, as well as globbing
implemented when downloading from FTP sites. For example, with this
-option, @samp{-A *.txt} will match @samp{file1.txt}, but also
+option, @samp{-A "*.txt"} will match @samp{file1.txt}, but also
@samp{file2.TXT}, @samp{file3.TxT}, and so on.
+The quotes in the example are to prevent the shell from expanding the
+pattern.
