Summary: Axel does not support large files 


Initial Comment:
Attached is a diff against 1.0b where I tried some simple hacks to allow large file support, but a little while into a download during conn_check axel fails during:

if( pthread_create( axel->conn[i].setup_thread, NULL, setup_thread, &axel->conn[i] ) == 0 )

Hi there,

I need to add in the Makfile :
CFLAGS = -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
in order for your patch to be efficient.

Cheers

Message:
I committed this as <http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/axel/?sc=1&rev=25>.  Marked it as 'initial support' because we have to test it atleast on FBSD and Solaris.  We can mark the bug 'Closed' once that is done.
