Thank you so much for doing that. All 3 downloads have different MD5 sums :(
Also, my response to Paul's feedback is this Did you deliberate disconnect the network, so that wget exists, and reconnect the network, and restart wget with the -c option? In my case network disconnects are very frequent because I use hotspot, cafe's ... etc. So, I have to frequently restart wget.
