I can't reproduce with the 1.21.4 version from Debian testing.

Can you send the output of 'wget --version'?
Where did you get the wget binary from?
Are you using a proxy? If yes, can you provide name and version?
Can you provide full links to the test files?
And anything else that let us reproduce your issue.
