As far as I can tell: * Either your server is not sending Content-Length for some reason (such as the file being dynamically generated), or a proxy server is stripping it. * The download is interrupted without a clear indication that this has happened. Wget's network read indicates end-of-transfer. * Since Wget doesn't know the length of the file, it cannot know that end-of-transfer is an error and considers the file fully retrieved. A question: are you absolutely certain that the file is not truncated on the server? Can you download it using a web browser?
