I am not doing anything to set tche file sizeo the fread function is setting
up the file size. I have not changed the function at all.
The platform that i am using is VC6 on Windows XP. I have built the curl
library from the source code. The other thing I noticed is when i debug
through Visual Studio it works fine. it saves the file with the exact same
size and i can retrieve it too but if i run the program it hangs at
*** We read 0 bytes from file
