It seems that wget will download an entire large file regardless of what
I specify for the quota. For example I am trying to download only the
first 100K of a 800K file. I specify this:

wget -Q 100K http://url-goes-here

It then proceeds to download the entire 800K file. I've also tried using
the "--quota=100K" form as well as "-Q 100000" and nothing seems to work.

Did I misinterpret the purpose of this argument?

Many thanks for your help!
