If filesize is zero (which it is <groan>), then do the rest (which it
does--except the content it fetches never makes it into the file it writes
to. How that can be, I dunno, but that apparently is what it's doing...)

Already tried echoing that and all the other values. Filesize is 0.

I don't get it. It should work. It did work. Suddenly it's not.
