Could you try this?

I tested here with this command and it worked:

Problem solved.
Thank you.

# To try ipv4 addresses first:
prefer-family = IPv4

If that was the exact command used then it is no wonder it failed.
That is an example domain that appears to be set up to allow use as an example of how some commands may be used and is not an actual domain for downloading files. Users should replace that domain url with the actual url to be used.

The 404 error shows the file not found.

The problem wasn’t the 404, but that wget was stuck in

Conectando con www.example.com

because it was trying to connect to an ipv6 address, and, probably, the OP’s network doesn’t support it.
