Ok, that makes sense.

I changed the code accordingly and now I get the following:

RubyMate r5712 running Ruby v1.8.4 (/usr/local/bin/ruby)
 >>> download2.rb

Downloading http://ibm.com
buffer size=227
done.
Downloading http://downloads.scribemedia.net/ 
rails2006/03_martin_fowler_full.m4v
buffer size=708
buffer size=416
buffer size=1024
buffer size=416
buffer size=1024
buffer size=416
buffer size=1024
buffer size=416
buffer size=1024
buffer size=416
buffer size=1024
buffer size=416
buffer size=1024
buffer size=416


So it seems to work...

I am just not so sure if this is the right buffer size? I guess 1024 
+416=1440 is the size of my PPOE packages, but I think at least 8KB  
would be more efficient.

Cheers,
Mariano
