how to identify an interrupted downloads?

["F.Xavier Noria" <fx...@isoco.com>]

I would like to know whether in the server side one can figure out if a
user has completed the download of a known file. Would bytes_sent() give
the actual number of bytes sent if the download gets interrumpted by the
client? Would yo know a better approach if not?

If you send the file in chunks, I suppose you can use $c->aborted every 
so often to check... Even if not, you can still use $c->aborted at the 
end to check if the connection's still there.  That ought to tell you, 
although I'm not sure if that it's a fail-saif solution...
