We were, it's just that I went off on a tangent wondering what Wget could do (if anything) to make life easier for people stuck with systems without LFS, for example by allowing them to retrieve the file in parts, or by at least correctly showing the size of the large file. Another example of such support is current Wget allowing the `--quota' option to exceed 2G, even on systems without a 64-bit integer type. (This is done by using `double' to represent quota.) > Perhaps I'm seeing things through my Info-ZIP filters, where the > programs work as well as they can with the OS features which are > available, and large files are the only thing demanding 64-bit > integers.

You are, of course, right.
