Hi,

    The files have different STAT when download is paused.

shadyabhi_at_ArchLinux /tmp $ curl --range 0-40000 -C -
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7728421/Academic%20Calendar%202010-11_Provisional.pdf

shadyabhi_at_ArchLinux /tmp $

So, size is 57024 which should be 40001 as I downloaded only that much data.

But, if I directly download the file, STAT is different..

shadyabhi_at_ArchLinux /tmp/tm $ tsocks curl --range 0-40000 -C -
