Just a small test result. I saw the old thread where you weren't sure if
the "can only download max. 64 MB big files through polipo" bug was
actually fixed.
I downloaded the whole 769 MB (tails iso) through polipo (Debian
wheezy standard package) without any problems. Also verification
worked. I believe the bug has been fixed upstream and/or in Wheezy.
