On attempting to download https://swtch.com/~rsc/talks/venti-1.jpg, the server returns a 206/partial response. Wget treats this as an error, and attempts to redownload the file. This repeats, until Wget reaches its try limit (20), and then fails. Other user agents have successfully downloaded this file (cURL, Pale Moon and Chromium). Wget should not treat an unrequested partial download as an error, and instead try to download the file in chunks.

The command used to invoke wget was `wget https://swtch.com/~rsc/talks/venti-1.jpg`. It exited with status 4. The output from the same command, albeit with the -d flag added, is attached.
