OK, you have the right version (just to make sure).

You are trying to download the image to a mounted NFS v2 filesystem.
The maximum filesize on NFS v2 is 2 GB.  So that explains why wget
stopped at 2 GB.  Do your download on a different filesystem that
does not have this limit (for example a local filesystem or NFS
version >= 3) and it will work.  Not a wget problem !
