After a recompile with -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 added to CFLAGS it downloads a DVD size iso image correctly. Although, after the download, it at least prints the size and download speed incorrectly because of 32-bit math.

I think it's his special, warm way of welcoming newbies to the group ;) Certainly it sorts out the thin-skinned or intolerant, their reaction revealing much about their natures. Grant. |
