Not sure what hit you there. I once had the problem on windows with files greater than 4GB. Downloading the latest version of wget fixed that for me. Gerd.Sent from my Galaxy

Unsure, what "big" exactly means.For example I download firefox-source, noto-font, linux-firmware andget checksum failures when using wget. These files are 340 MB to 1 GB.size in bytes:356057052  linux-firmware-20231111.tar.xz524717896  firefox-119.0.1.source.tar.xz1062488324 noto-20231031.tar.gzDownload is okay when using a web browser or curl.So my weak guess is that wget can not handle big file downloads.When I use wget several times to get the file, i always get anotherchecksum after download finished with wget.No problems when downloading small files. Unsure, what "small" exactlymeans.GreetingsGraf Grimm
