hmm... I was just able to download another file from the enwiki list which is 2.4GB without any problem. Thoughts?
enwiki-20091128-pages-articles.xml.bz2 5795591893 bytes Store that in a long int variable of 4 bytes. Now, retrieve it: 1500624597. Which is ~1.5GB (1,39 GiB).
Your company proxy doesn't allow downloading files bigger than 4 GB. It will only take as size the remainder.
Perhaps you could fool it doing Range requests for the remainder (you can use wget -c ). Anyway, your company should get its proxy fixed.
