I can change it back, Martin, the issue's not that. ;-)

I thought that on a server side error (negative file size) wget would
segfault. You suggest that it may be lack of large file size support,
although I'm almost sure of downloading other dvd iso files with wget
without issues... But maybe I didn't, and you're right.

I just tried another mirror and the error has repeated itself.

Thanks for correcting my report. :-)
