Apologies. Of course. I mixed Lars Ellenberg and Markus Gaugusch to Lars 
Gaugusch in my mind ;-)

Hm, don't know. It happens on a 9.0 machine. I see that it doesn't happen 
on another 9.0 machine. Looking at the old thread from April I see that it 
happened back then only on 8.1 machines.

Here's the most relevant finding about the cause of the problem from back 
then:

So, the issue seem to be that leo (apache 2.0.49) does NOT include the 
 <Accept-Ranges: bytes 
 <Content-Length: 0 
 <Content-Range: bytes */1716 
information, which gwdg (apache 1.3.27) DOES provide. 
Maybe someone familiar with apache vs. apache can give a hint whether 
this is a apache config problem, a problem with the apache versions, 
a problem with the leo reply being out of spec (non-rfc-conform[tm]) or 
a problem with wget (mis)interpreting the server response.
