Does the version of wget you are using support large files? (> 4GB) I
faced a similar problem a couple of years ago and upgrading wget to the
most recent version solved it.
Try "downloading" a dvd iso from a local machine (say localhost running
apache) If it fails, try upgrading your client.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think routers operate at a much
lower level and don't know anything about files and their sizes.
