I added support for KIO HTTP range headers around 8 years ago for a download accelerator, KGet instead of setting start and end simply kills the connection once it has all data it wants and just set the start part. So I really don't know if this code still work, and it also depends on the server side, check which HTTP headers are being sent. But if nothing else broke it, it should just work...
