Do you mean the wget exit status, or HTTP response status code?

If you mean the wget exit status, then you probably mean 4, not 1024
(which is what you'll get from the result of the wait() function, or
(say) reported by Perl, if wget returns 4). It's not possible for
programs to return exit statuses higher than 255.

As the manpage describes, 4 indicates a network error of some kind
(assuming you're using wget 1.12). Perhaps the network went down for a
bit, or something. If wget wasn't in quiet mode, it would also have
reported that.
