That works really well. After retesting, the --partial by itself also works. I must have overlooked it the first time. Is there any option for auto resume? I tried --timeout=1000 but it still terminates after 60s (when the internet drops). Thanks

Try --partial --append; the --append option tells rsync to make the (correct) assumption that the destination file left by --partial matches the beginning of the source file and just append to the existing file.
