    you are right, I found props ContentRangeStart/End in TidHTTP...
    but.... I have another problem. I could not find any demo about simple
    downloading with idHTTP. I am trying this code
    S := TFileStream.Create('.\tmp\tmp.rar', fmCreate );
    try
    H1.Get(URL, S);
    finally
    S.Free;
    end;

    ...dont know is it right way to do this. I expected to get whole file,
    but result was only portion of the file - with size of buffer. How to
    get whole file?
