My freshclam is different.  It connects, then does this (wrapped for
legibility:)

write(4, "GET /main.cvd HTTP/1.1\r\n
          Host: database.clamav.net\r\n
          User-Agent: clamav/0.70\r\n
          Cache-Control: no-cache\r\n
          Connection: close\r\n
          Range: bytes=0-511\r\n\r\n", 142) = 142

As you see, it asks only for the first 512 bytes of the file, and doesn't
grab the rest if it's up to date.
