It seems so, yes

Uh?

1. Get around what? The lack of SIZE is a limit in the server, there's nothing
    anyone but the server admin can do about it. SIZE is not a command in the
    original RFC959 spec.

2. libcurl transfers files just fine even if SIZE doesn't work. It just won't
    know the size before the transfer starts.
