I think that the originally described problem is in fact caused by the
bug described in #20. Unless we expect every archive mirror to support
ranged requests (which IMHO is a bit much to ask), the 406 error needs
to be handled properly. Even if a mirror supports ranges, the
implementation in the client is still buggy because of the incorrect
handling of ranges for compressed files.

Therefore, I will change the description of this bug if I do not hear
any other opinion within the next two days.
