We’re seeing something odd in our webstats for downloads of Democracy Player: we get almost as many ‘206 Partial Content’ status codes as we do hits to the installer files. This seems like a very, very high ratio. It would seem to suggest that a lot of downloads are being interrupted or cancelled part way through, but we haven’t heard that complaint from anyone. Anyone know why this might be happening?
Here’s one theory: when you try to get the installer in IE, the default SP2 settings will say ‘IE blocked this page from downloading a file’ since we use javascript to start the download. Does that blocking count as a ‘partial download’?
