Package: elinks
Version: 0.11.4-3
Severity: normal

When attempting to download a file larger than ~4GB, elinks does start the 
download, but reports an incorrect file 
size (e.g. 148MB instead of 4.5GB), and stops downloading after reaching that 
wrong size (148MB in my example). Thus, 
it is not possible to download large files.

Using wget from the same computer to download the same file from the same 
website succeeds, thus I believe the 
problem is in elinks and not the specific file/website.

I only downloaded large files via HTTP protocol on an amd64 computer, so this 
bug might be 
protocol/platform-specific.
