HTTP status codes / 4xx — Client errors

416 Range Not Satisfiable

In one sentence

The requested byte range is outside the resource.

What it means

A Range request asked for bytes the resource does not have (e.g. resuming a download past the end of a file that changed). Content-Range in the response reports the actual size.

Common causes

How to debug it

Clear the partial file / stored offset and restart the download from zero.

Server-side note: Discard the partial file and stored offset; restart from byte 0.

The fastest way to pin down a 416 is to reproduce the exact request and inspect what actually went over the wire — status, headers, timing and body, without your app code in the way. That is what an API client is for; ReqPad does it from your phone, with every request saved to history.
