wget not downloading streaming mp3 correctly

I am trying to download a streaming mp3 using wget. this is my basic command: wget http://sj128.hnux.com/sj128.mp3 -c --timeout=1 --waitretry=0 --tries=0 -O "file.mp3" i have been doing this in a script (which lets this run for 1 hour), but what i have been infuriatingly finding is that my file would end up truncated and incomplete. for example, i would expect the file to be, say around 30MB and it would only be something like 13MB. i didn't understand what was happening until i ran this command directly from the CLI and saw that eventually i'd always run into a "read timeout". this shouldn't be a show stopper. the -c and infinite retries should handle this FINE. but instead, after a "read timeout" and a new retry, my file would stop growing even though the download continued. why does the download continue but the file not continue to grow as expected? i went so far as to create an elaborate script which started a completely new wget under a completely different file name to avoid a "file" type of conflict and even though ALL OUTPUT showed a completely different file name with a completely new process, IT STILL DIDN'T WRITE A NEW FILE! in this case, why does the download appear to commence and my new file does't even show up!?
