Does this also block all legitimate download resumes by clients? For
example, if I lose my connection while downloading something from home,
I'll use a 'wget -c URL' to pick up where I left off. From my
understanding of this rule, it would block that.

More to the point, is there a way to see if multiple range requests are
active for the same file from the same IP? That seems to be what we
really want to accomplish.
