You have a partial file and that is what WWWOFFLE stores in the cache
as the truncated file. You don't lose anything if WWWOFFLE stores the
partial file.
You need to have 'intr-download-keep = yes' to store the partial
files, but you must already have this or you would not get truncated
files stored.

The options that exist for the keeping or not of truncated files
should allow you the flexibility that you require.

This is the correct solution for this situation.
