206 is the "partial response" answer to a partial request.

For instance, if you have half a file and you want to relaunch the
download starting in the point you left, you use a "partial request" to
request a given range of bytes. The reply to this is a "partial
response" from the server.

I guess something in the downloader is doing partial requests without
understanding the "right" answer. Seems a bug in the downloader, not in
the server.
