The patch didn't make it to canonical sources because it assumes `long long', which is not available on many platforms that Wget supports. The issue will likely be addressed in 1.10.

Just enter Wget's source and type `patch -p1 <patchfile'. `-p1' makes sure that the top-level directories, such as "wget-1.8.2.orig" and "wget-1.8.2" are stripped when finding files to patch. > 2 - why after compilation the wget still cant download the file > > 2GB ? I suspect you've tried to apply the patch to Wget 1.9-beta, which doesn't work, as explained above.
