You may already be aware (I havn't checked an up to date dev wget), but wget 1.8 seems to crash with the new progress bar when it has to handle a large file.
Length: 495,585,280 (unauthoritative) 0% [ ] 0 --.--K/s ETA --:--wget: progress.c:673: create_image: Assertion `p - bp->buffer <= bp->width' failed. Aborted (core dumped) [snazbaz@mrpinky snaz]$ It works fine with smaller files. Anyway, I can stop it crashing with --progress=dot, so I assume this is a problem with the new bar type.
