Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue; begin by locating the range-request handling and its download tests. Done means a server without Range support no longer causes pget to error and the complete-download behavior is covered, including whether it is optional.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

If a range request isn't supported pget will error. PGET should instead download the complete file slowly (at least optionally).
