How can I make download links resumable so I can pause download and resume download later?

I don't how I should test that...
So far I have tested aria2c -c, wget -c and IDM and none of them was able to resume download.

@HamedSepehr I assume that you are talking about your own hosted service, not the one on https://transfer.sh

if the request for the resumed download has Range header it should work out of the box, can you please test?

My bad... Yes I'm talking about my own hosted service which is behind nginx reverse proxy, even when it wasn't behind proxy its links weren't resumable.

@HamedSepehr
for the records: https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh/issues/490#issuecomment-1147456719
when proxying the transfer.sh service you have to forward the range header: in case of nginx I had to add the proxy_pass_request_headers on;

I couldn't make transfer.sh links resumable, instead I changed my configuration in a way that transfer.sh files are accessible through nginx and now I'm downloading files from nginx.
