Out of curiosity, why? I always thought thats abuse of HTTP, since it was not designed for that purpose, and it also lacks the ability of 'regetting' a file, that was not transferred completely. Or am I wrong here? Also I don't see any benefits using HTTP, but maybe I'm missing something here, too.
