Unless told to do otherwise, wget saves to the current directory, whatever that may be. It may not be what you expect it to be depending on how you ran wget. Start looking in odd places for the files, like c:\windows\system32\, the directory wget.exe resides in, etc. Also remember you can right-click on a folder and click 'properties' to see a summary of how big its contents are, hunt around for a folder with 8 gigs of stuff.

jigdo-lite
JIGDO-LITE(1) JIGDO-LITE(1)
NAME
jigdo-lite - Download jigdo files using wget
SYNOPSIS
jigdo-lite [ URL ]
DESCRIPTION
See jigdo-file(1) for an introduction to Jigsaw Download.
Given the URL of a `.jigdo' file, jigdo-lite downloads the large file (e.g. a CD image) that has been made available through that URL.
wget(1) is used to download the necessary pieces of administrative data (contained in the `.jigdo' file and a corresponding `.template'
file) as well as the many pieces that the large file is made from. The jigdo-file(1) utility is used to reconstruct the large file from the
pieces.
`.jigdo' files that contain references to Debian mirrors are treated specially: When such a file is recognized, you are asked to select one
mirror out of a list of all Debian mirrors.
If URL is not given on the command line, the script prompts for a location to download the `.jigdo' file from. The following command line
options are recognized:
-h --help
Output short summary of command syntax.
-v --version
Output version number.
--scan FILES
Do not ask for "Files to scan", use this path.
--noask
Do not ask any questions, instead behave as if the user had pressed Return at all prompts. This can be useful when running jigdo-
lite from cron jobs or in other non-interactive environments.
SEE ALSO
jigdo-file(1), jigdo-mirror(1), wget(1) (or `info wget')
CD images for Debian Linux can be downloaded with jigdo <URL:http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/>.
AUTHOR
Jigsaw Download <URL:http://atterer.net/jigdo/> was written by Richard Atterer <jigdo atterer.net>, to make downloading of CD ROM images
for the Debian Linux distribution more convenient.
