I figure in most cases the application wants a successful download to return
OK, and when the entire file is downloaded it is a successful download.

However, if we return OK, the application can't use the return code to detect
this particular condition (as it can now). It could of course still know
this, as it would return OK while the write callback was never used.

I'd appriciate comments from the list.

libcurl is perfectly suited to use for mirroring programs (too).
