After a left-over of another, stopped 1GB (so .st in place) download (to same output file blablafile), axel gets confused when trying to get a fresh download, and wants to download 18446744073652280377 bytes = 1.8446744e+19 bytes, which is just below 2^64 (so overflow error?).

And then after a few second all kinds of errors.

Platform: Ubuntu 20.04.

Reproduce:

1. 1GB download: axel https://speed.hetzner.de/1GB.bin -o blablafile
2. but ... CTRL-C above 10%, so around 25%, so that intermediate file is bigger than 100MB:
3. 100MB download, to same output file: axel https://speed.hetzner.de/100MB.bin -o blablafile
4. result: output with "...18446744073652280377 to go."

Maybe put the URL into to .st to avoid this confusion, and file corruption?

$ axel  https://speed.hetzner.de/100MB.bin -o blablafile
