Thanks for the reply!
I'm not exactly sure why, but setting the Content-Length header doesn't work
as expected. It behaves as though the content length was never specified,
i.e. the download reads Downloading at 1432k, unknown file size; This is
still better than before, but it would be great if I could get this to work.
Thanks again!
