I am adding resume support to libcurl. While testing, I wanted to make sure that large files (over 4GB) and zero byte files work, but I found that the download of zero bytes never finishes, I just see calls to my progress function repeating. The reason I posted was to see if anyone else can confirm if a download of zero bytes with sftp works for them (in which case my code is at fault - quite likely).

Cheers
