I want to resume download from dropbox using wget. I was downloading a file
wget -O SQLyog.exe "https://www.dropbox.com/s/dfv2z0le0c2bo7z/SQLyog-9.3.3-0Trial.exe?dl=1"
..........
Length: 15775640 (15M) [application/x-msdos-program]
Saving to: ‘SQLyog.exe’
5% [====> ] 810,391 12.3KB/s eta 18m 39s
The size of file now is
lh SQLyog.exe
-rw-rw-r-- 1 prayagupd prayagupd 1008K Dec 18 18:01 SQLyog.exe
When I try to resume the download after interruption; with following command,
## with shortened url
wget -O SQLyog.exe --continue "http://bit.ly/1x22r8H"
## or with actual url
wget -O SQLyog.exe --continue "https://www.dropbox.com/s/dfv2z0le0c2bo7z/SQLyog-9.3.3-0Trial.exe?dl=1"

Cannot write to ‘SQLyog.exe’ (Success).
It tells me Cannot write, is there anything I'm missing to resume this or my script itself is wrong?
I also tried --tries=0 but got same error,
wget -O SQLyog.exe --continue --tries=0 "https://www.dropbox.com/s/dfv2z0le0c2bo7z/SQLyog-9.3.3-0Trial.exe?dl=1"
wget --trust-server-names -O SQLyog.exe --continue --tries=0 "https://www.dropbox.com/s/dfv2z0le0c2bo7z/SQLyog-9.3.3-0Trial.exe?dl=1"
Without the filename (-O SQLyog.exe) it saves to some random file but starting download from scratch again.
But I tried resume on another link which is working fine.
wget -O ubuntu-14.10-server-powerpc.iso http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/releases/14.10/release/ubuntu-14.10-server-powerpc.iso
followed by,
wget -O ubuntu-14.10-server-powerpc.iso --continue http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/releases/14.10/release/ubuntu-14.10-server-powerpc.iso
Not sure if dropbox server is not allowing this resume service.
