Bug Description

The udm assumes that all servers support the range header and does not check if the server returns a 206 as the Http 1.1 spec states (206 Partial Content - http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.2.7). If the server does not support the range header udm should start the download from the start without corrupting the local file.
