This issue should be resolved in Wget-1.11.4, which is available in Ubuntu 8.10, so this bug should be closed, as it has been fixed in recent releases of Ubuntu (please re-open if you find this is not in fact the case).
I expect this qualifies for a Stable Release Update for Hardy, so if you would like to start the process for that, please complete steps one and two from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure In the meantime, I believe you can actually just grab the binary package from Intrepid at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/wget/1.11.4-1ubuntu1 (binary packages are available from a panel on the right). ** Changed in: wget (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- Wget does not support large file sizes using HTTP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/68758 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
