WGET 1.8 crashes when trying to retrieve a large file (250MB) It seems to happen when new progress indicator is activated (bar style). When switching to dot-style indicator it works (for now). With smaller files there is no problem also. See attachment (screenshot).
I use WGET 1.8b compiled for Windows downloaded from http://space.tin.it/computer/hherold/
