...and I forgot to mention that progress metering is currently broken if
the offset negotiated is different from that which was originally
requested. The progress meter still assumes that curl is only downloading
the data it wants, but gets updates for the additional data that the
server is sending due to the different offset, and happily reports
downloading over 100% of the data...sigh...

I will also be looking at that over the holidays.
