Yes, 416 error is not a problem in lftp. There's many hosts which let you continue downloading via http. But some servers may produce 416 error to tell you that the server doesn't support "continue", I think. So lftp should not return zero when 416 error occured. lftp doesn't GET target if the file is already the same length as Content-Length of HEAD. So 416 error doesn't mean success, does it? -- tamo
