New subject: Fwd: [Tagging] Download huge file via HTTP

9 Nov 2010

Considering that dumps.wikimedia.org serves files in excess of 100 GB,
I don't think HTTP the protocol is the issue. However when you try to
request the file (or even just do a HEAD request) the web server
closes the connection before sending any data, suggesting its a web
server issue, not an HTTP the protocol issue.
