What about partly downloaded files that our wwwoffle.conf says not to keep; in the future can we set a variable to leave them in some temporary place where we can examine them? Perhaps a /var/cache/wwwoffle/junk, prevjunk1,2... or perhaps /tmp. Yes, don't keep the file, but still, don't throw away those partially downloaded carcasses that fast. And, that way one could see directly how many failed -- not readily visible in say lastout, and without needing to look in a log file -- we might not be root too.
By the way, on the man page OnlineOptions If the server connection times out... If the browser closes the connection... but no mention of if the server closes the connection... By the way, if I were in charge, I'd take all the comments out of /etc/wwwoffle/wwwoffle.conf, and just refer users to the wwwoffle.conf man page. Otherwise you have to do tedious risky surgery to the user's /etc/wwwoffle/wwwoffle.conf with each new version. P.S. There seems to be certain situations offline where one goes to lasttime and clicks on a entry, and sees a fresh 'request recoded', with no explanation of why the file wasn't gotten last time. Perhaps there is some clue in the logs ... but we might not be root to read it.
