hi,

i'm surprising some browser or download manager gives different size
values for this testfile (real 100 megaoctets
filesize in my HD)

curl and firefox detects 513 Petaoctets
filezilla, iexplore and wget gives 100 megas

i do not know if SIZE command or size displayed in "RETR" server reply
or twice is official (FTP) answer...
