It's a bit weird that the download fails non-deterministically, and it
indicates a serious problem on the server, but as you don't control
it, here is what you can do with Wget:
Yes, it's possible, but you have to change the source. Doing so is
quite trivial; there is a line in Wget that says:
/* Return if we have no intention of further downloading. */
if (!(*dt & RETROKF) || (*dt & HEAD_ONLY))
...
Now, *before* that block, you have to add another if, saying:
/* Scott's hack */
if (status == 404)
return ERROR404_RETRY;
Add ERROR404_RETRY to enum uerr_t in wget.h, and handle it as
"non-fatal" case in http_loop's switch.
