download from backup appends to file from previous attempt

[starius]

See #1524 (comment)

I reproduced this issue locally.

First URL http://www.bzip.org/1.0.6/bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz is very slow at the moment and can not output whole file until timeout (30 seconds). wget tries 3 times (option -t 3 of wget) and fails them all, after it tries to download from backup server: http://s3.amazonaws.com/mxe-pkg/bzip2%2D1%2E0%2E6%2Etar%2Egz The file is downloaded in few seconds, but checksum fails.

Correct file bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz has size 782025 bytes, but the file got has size 924991 bytes. Checked both files with tail and head, I see that they have equal prefix and suffix. Probably, subsequent download attempts append to old file instead of overwriting it.

Is it downloading it to the /tmp directory? what if I manually download the correct file and place it in the tmp folder?

Packages are downloaded to pkg/ directory.
You can download the file manually and put there - it should work.

I downloaded the amazon file, it's the same size.
