Description of problem: wget cannot handle large files Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): wget-1.8.2-15.i386.rpm How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. wget -c ftp://limestone.uoregon.edu/fedora/2/i386/iso/FC2-i386-DVD.iso 2. .... wait .... Actual results: Get message about file being too large .... Expected results: I expected to get a complete, 4370640896 byte, ISO image. Additional info: See also bug #122746 (curl doesn't have large file support).
Maybe the patch above solves it (RHEL has IIRC 1.8.x), but that patch doesn't work in 1.9 :-( http://www.alobbs.com/cherokee/wget-cvs_LFS.diff
The wget maintainer is aware of this and already works on a new version with large file support.
