I'm not sure what could be causing this, but a publically available URL to trace the problem would help. Also, could you try if the same happens with Wget 1.10-rc1, available at ftp://ftp.deepspace6.net/pub/ds6/sources/wget/wget-1.10-rc1.tar.gz Thanks for the report.
1.9.1 large file fetch support
Use a Web server that gives a correct content-length for large files. Create a large file.
