Sounds to me like somebody is interrupting your download before it
reaches you. They can view and change what you download or upload before
it reaches you or the server. The only way you can tell is by using
md5sums. These are some security problems that no one can fix - only
keep an eye on that md5sums number, they HAVE to match. If they don't,
discard the downloaded file right away. If you can use an https://
connection, I would advise you to try that. If it persists after that,
then I would get an old version of wget or try ftp or trying a server
from the US or a different server for Mexico. Let me know how it goes.
