It's proper support of HTTP 1.1 byte ranges on proxies. Whatever proxy you or your isp is using is broken. The simple solution is to use an ftp mirror instead of an http mirror. The "proper" solution is to fix whatever proxy is claiming to understand http 1.1 and is lying. -- Jim Perrin System Architect - UIT Ft Gordon & US Army Signal Center
