Acrobat Reader is just about the only client I know of that actually uses
byte range requests.  So if PDF serving to acroread is broken, the
byterange filter is virtually always the culprit.

Ahh, that's handy to know... I don't actually use download managers so
I've never seen it in anything but acroread.  But anyway, my guess that
the byterange filter is likely involved stands.  :-)
