Hi Philipp,

Thank you for the patches you submitted and triaging the bugs.

Is there any reason why we wouldn't want to use -H in a way that it
over-rides the existing U-A?  I am a bit reluctant to add newer options
to axel that can be handled via -H.

Committed to svn r32 in trunk.

I replaced the patch attached to the bug with this file.

Cheers,
