   As you pretty surely imagine, I already had that idea ;-)

   I presume, you are not aware, that A2Stream already saves the URLs entered   
   by the user in a file for re-use on a subsequent run. Of course, I can't   
   judge if you consider my place a convenient place.   
      
   However, I see more than enough other problems. Two of them:   
      
   1.) A2Stream has no idea whatsoever, where in a stream it currently is.   
      
   2.) A2Stream does HTTP 1.0, but byte ranges are part of HTTP 1.1.   
      
   Anyhow, thanks for thinking about A2Stream,
