Yes, that issue is on the to-do list. There may have been a patch
submitted for it recently, I'd have to check: in any case, it hasn't
been fixed yet in any official sources.

Note that this may or may _not_ be your problem: -c assumes that the
file hasn't changed since the last download; if it has, -c will
definitely result in a corrupt file.
