You're not getting it all.
I've seen this before. Not sure if the sender times out a connection or
Netscape does it for you. But, I've had downloads just quit right in the
middle with no warning and no error. Usually they're really long ones.
Doesn't matter whether I'm sitting there by it when it happens or not.
By the by, this has happened to me on Linux (once), 'Doze (dozens of
times) and Amiga (also dozens), so it has nothing to do with the OS or
system.
