wget chokes on Security Definition Updates modifications

wget should download MSSE and other security definitions so that it does not retry on failure and especially when the file size changes! This is a common problem that happens quite frequently. If "Connection closed" error is detected or the file size changes, the download should restart anew and even if the file size is the same it could still be a different version...
