Hi hazylife,

yes, I am still there - meaning here, just had to deal with some other major problem on my machine.
Thanks for your hint, I digged into the documentation regarding the eol subject.
I am not quite sure whether or not I really got the point. What I learned is, that obviously
eol is far away from being reliable to determine the last buffer of the file to be transported.
Yet what I had to realize is that if I go with the original version of the code, I end up
with a downloaded file showing some more bytes than the original file is showing.
If I chomp all buffers I end up with a file showing exactly 1 byte less than the original file.
I tried to determine the last buffer to be transported by it's length. But the result is kind of erratic.
2 out of three files end up corrupted ... The current version seems to be the only one working fine.
(on various kinds of files (such as excel files, jpegs, mp4)
Do have any idea, what I am doing wrong ?

Cheers
