Dear Mathias,

Although I don't use your script[1] I think I can help here.

I have been able to reproduce this problem with wget 1.10.2 and Linux.

However, a second try yielded to the whole file. So maybe you
should try to download it 2 oder 3 times. This plays nice with
wget's option '-c' (continue downloads).

So maybe you can work around that by trying:

    del project.html
    wget -O project.html http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617
    wget -cO project.html http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617


Greets,

    Volker


[1] I'm cross compiling for win32 with Debian GNU/Linux, and I sometimes
    use your precompiled gnuwin32 packages for that task.
