I'm not a Windows person, but since I made the large file support for curl I 
can tell you that 'off_t' is 32 bit on Windows systems and thus this does not 
enable large file support for those.

Hallo, Joachim,
  This problem waits for a volunteer with M$-Windows. Try patch

   This was tested for Unixes. I am not sure that it will run for 
M$-Windows, but if not, the changes are supposed to be small. Then,
please post a windows-patch.

GNU Wget 1.9+cvs-dev-200404081407
tried 1.9.1(a) too.

wget using -c on the already completed download wget restarts at 
-1,828,556,800 and indeed downloads/appends additional 1,8 GB.
