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.
