That's true. So forget "-c" :-)

Good idea!

This is no particular problem of wget. curl is behaving similar.
So this might be an issue of SourceForge. They seem to close the
connection in a clean way without having tranferred the whole data.
I don't think this is a bug of wget or curl anymore.

You have put very much effort in playing with the strange behaviour
of SourceForge. Maybe you could split your code in a gnuwin32 specific
part and a generic SourceForge-downloader?
Such a downloader may be interesting for other projects, too.
