FTP does not have a concept of ranged retreivals. Some servers support
resumes restarting the download at a specific point in the file, but not
all servers do support this.

Squid does support resuming of ftp downloads via the HTTP Range operator,
but limited to resuming only and only if supported by the FTP server.
