See here description of the flag:
Continue getting a partially-downloaded file. This is useful when you want to finish up a download started by a previous instance of Wget, or by another program.
As I am using wsusoffline behind a very slow and unreliable internet connection it sometimes happen that a download of a file which was almost fnished stops and needs to be restarted again. This is especially annoying if trying to download a service pack or updates of similair sizes.
I have attached a patch (created against trunk) where the continue flag -c is added to the Linux DownloadUpdates.sh which I normally use. After some testing it seems to work just fine. I am sure it can be easily added to the Windows script as well. It would be great to add this improvoment to wsusoffline to make it even better
