I did use a different session in firefox and wget.
I also tried to close my firefox session before starting the wget 
session just in case the server would not like two sessions under the 
same account at the same time.

I have dumped the http transaction in firefox.
The server gives the right "content-length", not the "truncated" length 
that wget and curl get.
This log also indicates that firefox transmits one more cookie : has_js=1.
So I have added this cookie manually in my cookies.txt file and (tadaaa) 
now wget receives the correct content-length in the server response.

I can download one complete video with:
  wget --load-cookies cookies.txt http://www.site.com/path/video


So there is no bug in wget --ignore-length it was just a missing cookie.

Thanks a huge lot for your help.


Now I have to understand why wget will not download all videos when I 
create a list of links in a html file ..
wget --load-cookies cookies.txt -i file.html       "Invalid URL <a 
href="http://www.site.com/path/video";>foo</a>: missing scheme."
Could it be because my video is actually named "video" without any 
extension ?

Thanks again
