Just a guess:

If you have a bad network and your connection drops, wget does retries 
by default.
These retries may result in multiple incomplete files, so that the 
checksums are different. Can you do a 'ls -la' to see which size these 
files have?

I currently can't simulate it - none of the "bad network" emulators for 
Linux do random connection drops.
