I have tried to download the 8mb index.all file from the Gutenburg Project website with LWP::UserAgent but it only gets around 5mb. With wget I gets the full file, is there some limit in LWP? I have tried LWP::Agent many times and it gets between 4mb-5.2mb.

my $url = 'https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL';
     my $file = '/home/philip/APPLICATIONS/GUTINDEX.ALL';
     say $url;
     my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new();
     my $response = $browser->get($url);
     open my $fp,">",$file || die "Error saving book $!\n";
     print $fp $response->content();
     close $fp;

[download]
