Please explain what you mean by "Multi-part" download. Are you referring to restarting and aborted download.

I have never heard that term used in relation to FTP before.

I mean downloading a single file in several smaller chunks simultaneously (similar to GetRight).

There's no built in code or sample code available, but it wouldn't be difficult. What you would do is use restart to start the transfer at a certain point, then abort the transfer when you have received the number of bytes you want. When done you would re-assemble the parts in the correct order.

How to control the number of bytes you want?
If I want 1 - 100 bytes, but FTP control retrieve 102 bytes?
Can I have some sample code?

If the server supports restart, you can control the position at which the transfer starts.

But you can't control how many bytes you get after that. The server just gives you the whole file.
