My understanding of the rollback problem is that there are some broken
proxies that do add some additional text garabge after the conection
has timed out for example. Then, for `--rollback-size=NUM' after
timing-out, wget shall cut the last NUM bytes of the file and try to
resume the download.
Chould you elaborate more on the situation where something like
`--rollback-check-size' would be needed? What shall be checked there?
