Ho hum, 120 MB. NASA.

Excuse me Mr. Megabytes, more down to earth me was earlier in line,
wanting some way to slam on the brakes if I accidentally clicked on a
file over a certain amount of, er, kilobytes. And not er, not just
caching, but, er, downloading in the first place.

OK, some sites give
Length: unspecified [text/html]
Well then wwwoffle could just cut the file short at the user specified
point. If the user was sure he wanted the file he could use
$ wwwoffle --really-get-whole-file URL
or something.
