Maybe a wget bug?

I am not sure of this, or I'd be working on a bug report.
Kubuntu 10.04 on a Dell Vostro laptop.
I have always used wget for downloading iso's. Our service in rural
Mexico is nothing to write about. Also we have file size limitations
which I did not understand until I installed vnstat last week.
Over the years wget always gave perfect md5sums no matter how many times
I interrupted the download with CTRL-Z, then restarted it.
In recent months, I get bad downloads. I finally let kde-dvd run all the
way with no interruptions, and got a good download. I had tried 3 times
with interruptions and all three were bad on md5sum.
It may be coincidence. I need to do a lot more work before I decide it
is a real problem or not.
Also, I need to try a later version and see if it is the same.
I think I will need to do a small iso such as puppy. 1.3 GB is too large
for experiments on my service.
