You most likely want to also use --partial (or just -P) so that the
downloaded data isn't lost if rsync stops (get stoped) after 640MB.

When you stop rsync, move the partial file away, generate a new pseudo
image and concatenate the pseudo image and partial file. That way you
keep all the downloaded data and still gain by the pseudo image.
