JD, errors can pop up in a number of places during the download process.
there are 3 things you can do to fix the download: rsync, bittorrent,
or metalink.
using the latest version of wget is always better than not, but you
can't fix this download with wget. (by that, I mean if you've kept the
error file & not deleted it).
wget will be fine if no errors occur, but the larger the download the
more likely you are to run into an error (probably). & you have
already gotten errors at least twice.
many Linux distributions use metalink or bittorrent for these large
ISO downloads to correct errors & for other features like mirror
usage.
I would suggest using aria2 & the attached metalink file. aria2 is a
command line downloader like wget.
Fedora already provides metalinks for all their files, but
unfortunately they don't include all the repair information, just the
sha256sum to detect errors.
