Ahh, the connection is treating me bad, I've been trying like 3 times
with a crontab-wget line. Think, there most be another waiting crontab
night :-).

I have no access to bittorrent here :-\ .

Thanks Maciej, appreciate a lot that clean suggestions. I heavily
tried to do an rsync, some time ago, to mirror a repository and keep
some local updated packages here for the local servers and some
workstations but just errors appeared to me when I tried to do so, all
seem to me like have no read enough about it or that a top level
firewall (which I've no control of) in the intranet is blockin it. I
am studying firewalls now to have more arguments about this issue and
be able to use the wonderful-necessary rsync tool, that I think should
study a little more.
By now, I will delete and redownload the entire file using my friendly
wget again (hoping the best) and will write you back the results.
