wget 1.9.1 fails when trying to download a very large file.
 
The download stopped in between and attempting to resume shows a negative sized balance to be downloaded.
 
e.g.ftp://ftp.solnet.ch/mirror/SuSE/i386/9.2/iso/SUSE-Linux-9.2-FTP-DVD.iso   3284710 KB
 
I read somewhere that it is due to the fact that internally the size is being stored as signed integers and hence the numbers wrap around giving negative sizes for large (DVD sized files)
