I use a simple python script to monitor downloads from my website. http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/cgi.shtml#downman
It serves the file in a loop using our old friend : ``sys.stdout.write(chunk)`` (After sending the relevant headers with filename and filesize of course). I am testing this locally under windows using Xitami as localhost. If I run in unbuffered mode (shebang line ``#!/usr/bin/python -u``) it works fine. Without unbuffered mode (shebang line ``#!/usr/bin/python``) it truncates the file. This happens even if I add ``sys.stdout.flush()`` into the loop. Does anyone know why this might happen ?
