FYI: wget assertion error after download of a big (2.29 GB) file

Thu, 24 Mar 2005 12:28:17 -0800

Hi - just in case anybody cares, I got the following error after I succesfully downloaded a big file (an DVD ISO image) using wget:

$ wget --continue ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/iso/FC3-i386-DVD.iso
--08:12:16-- ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/iso/FC3-i386-DVD.iso

assertion "bytes >= 0" failed: file "/home/hack/projects/cygwin/wget/wget-1.9.1/src/retr.c", line 292
Aborted (core dumped)

The md5sum checksum for the file was correct, so I guess the assertion failed very late in the download process.

The stacktrace looked like this:

$ cat wget.exe.stackdump

I am running an outdated version of Cygwin on WinXP Home SP1:

  Cygwin DLL version info:

Perhaps this error is already fixed, but for the record here is the version info for wget:

$ wget --version

As I said, the file was fine but I thought I should report it anyway.
