Download only the most recent fragments #50

Hi, in my case I would like to be able to specify that the process should not download from the start of the playlist, but only from the most recent fragment when the process starts.

The files I'm downloading are live, but they have a full DVR, therefore they contain the full list of all the segments from the start of the encoding

The reason I would like to do this is that I would like to use hlsclient as a cdn primer in order to then test a player with a hot cache.
