Chris Peterson found a simple solution for his case:

"I found a work around by using wget --tries=1 and then on failure looping on: truncate -s 1024 ; wget -c --tries=1"

Thanks for sharing, Chris.

Since the problem seems to be a rare case (buggy proxy) and we are not responsible for work around each broken software out there, I  close this bug as 'Wont fix'.

If you think that Wget is the correct address to fix the problem, feel free to reopen. In this case please come with details like software name and version and if possible with a real-world URL where we can see and test this special behavior.

I have tested this patch on Linux and windows, it works fine.

(1) When rollback bytes is bigger than current file's length, it will begin downloading from offset 0.
(2) Support large file system.

Add a "rollback" option to have continued retrieval throw away a
configurable number of bytes at the end of a file before resuming
download.  Apparently, some stupid proxies insert a "transfer
interrupted" string we need to get rid of.
