Hi,
wget appears to be confused by FTP servers that only have one space
between the file-size information. We only came across this problem
today so I don't know how common it is.

Your FTP server must have changed the output of the listing format or,
more precisely, the string representation of some of the components has
changed such that only one space separates the group name from the
file-size. The bug is, of course, with wget but it is one that hitherto
had not been observed when interacting with your FTP server.
