There are a couple of things that might have gone wrong. If anyone would cares to check this out I would like to know a couple of things. 1. Does cygwin support large files? Note that this requires support in the runtime libraries and include files. It might be that cygwin does not support large files even though Windows does.
Yes. I wrote a little snippet which used fwrite to write a 6 GB file with no problems.
2. Did the configure step recognize that cywin supports large files? It might be that the config script for wget didn't recognize that cygwin supported large files and didn't compile with large file support.
Yes, it did recognize the large file support. The configure script assumes you want large file support if possible and discovers: checking for special C compiler options needed for large files... no checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files... no checking for _LARGE_FILES value needed for large files... no ... checking for _LARGEFILE_SOURCE value needed for large files... no and it appears the wget code does then allow for large files.
3. It might be that the source for wget needs ifdefs for cygwin. I don't know the build process for wget.
It detected it was running under Cygwin from the get-go and was happy to compile there.
