Karl, What web server (and version) are you using? the range header is a http1.1 extension iirc. the fetch code probably needs to do a bit more careful checking of the result code from the server prior to appending results to the file. i'll try to get this fixed later this week unless someone beats me to it. randolph -- Debian Developer <tausq@debian.org> http://www.TauSq.org/
