Hey, I tried it too:

$ curl -vi
http://listings.ebay.com/aw/plistings/list/all/category15005/index.html -o
dump
curl: (18) transfer closed with -83 bytes remaining to read

Hehe. That seems to be a screwed up server.

In my test, the header said it was gonna send 77275 bytes but we received
77358! It actually does this repeatedly, every time I try this.

So, I guess you just have to ignore the error in this case! ;-O
