and so ? as i said, the throughtput is the same, you
just see things happening a little bit (very little, usually) earlier,
and your experiment has no notion of time, and
furthermore there are so many factors influencing
the throughput and the numbers printed by wget
that it's hard to tell how can you see the difference.

assuming, of course, that the patch i suggested works, which i
think but cannot guarantee.

cheers
