Re: [Bug-wget] Problem using GNU Wget 1.11.4 Windows version

[JD]

Thank you so much for doing that.
All 3 downloads have different MD5 sums :(

Also, my response to Paul's feedback is this

Did you deliberate disconnect the network, so that wget exists,
and reconnect the network, and restart wget with the -c option?

In my case network disconnects are very frequent because
I use hotspot, cafe's ... etc. So, I have to frequently restart
wget.
