well i have had some experience with php, a little experience with mysql as well. i am mainly a front end web dev so back end languages are not my forte.
i understand that cronjob schedule times to run tasks. i suppose i want to know how to run a script that will download a file. so there are 2 scripts that need doing. a cronjob script to schedule the time to execute the download. and the other script is the code that will download said file. like i said, i am a novice at php and totally new to cronjob
cheers for ya help thus far

curlopt_resume_from
CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM - set a point to resume transfer from
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM, long from);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long as parameter. It contains the offset in number of bytes that you want the transfer to start from. Set this option to 0 to make
the transfer start from the beginning (effectively disabling resume). For FTP, set this option to -1 to make the transfer start from the
end of the target file (useful to continue an interrupted upload).
When doing uploads with FTP, the resume position is where in the local/source file libcurl should try to resume the upload from and it will
then append the source file to the remote target file.
If you need to resume a transfer beyond the 2GB limit, use CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM_LARGE(3) instead.
DEFAULT
0, not used
PROTOCOLS
HTTP, FTP, SFTP, FILE
EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com");
/* resume upload at byte index 200 */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM, 200L);
/* ask for upload */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, 1L);
/* set total data amount to expect */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, size_of_file);
/* Perform the request */
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
AVAILABILITY
Always
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK
