@lamp @INSTALLGENTOO Range requests are busted for now because all media hosting has been moved from nginx/webvac to an endpoint on Revolver that doesn't support them.
The majority of bandwidth required by anything under /media is media proxies fetching and refetching the same file over and over on behalf of someone that just scrolls past the post without even looking at it. I had almost no success getting people to abandon stupid media proxies, so I took a day and rolled out a hack to route all of the media to a debugging endpoint in Revolver that isn't designed for serving large media.
Works fine for basically everything *except* range requests, but since most people are using stupid media proxies, they don't notice.
