Try `wget --help' for more options.
Finished downloading!

This is designed to prevent redirects to a login screen being downloaded 
instead of 
the proper tools, however it seems like the flag is only a recent addition to 
wget. 
It's not a particularly clear way of indicating a failure anyway. I will remove 
the 
flag and perhaps substitute for better APSL agreement verification.

Thanks for the report.

This has been fixed in the unstable branch, which will be merged into the trunk 
after
the next successful complete build of toolchain 2.2. In the meantime users can 
check
out unstable revision 60 (functioning) with the command:
svn co svn checkout --revision 60
