Comment (by gk):

 I was wondering that, too. There are definitely larger pdfs that get
 rendered without range requests. Then there are large non-pdf downloads
 where the server is sending an Accept-Ranges header but no range requests
 are issued by the browser. So far, I don't have non-pdf range-requests
 seen which would clarify if that is purely pdf related.
