It could be the that server sends a malformed redirection. Can't say for sure, since the URL is inaccessible to the rest of us : $ HEAD https://data.caida.org/datasets/passive-2008/equinix-chicago/20080319/eq-chic.dirB.20080319-185908.UTC.anon.pcap.gz Enter username for data at data.caida.org:443: Perhaps you could pass appropriate --user and --password options to Wget. -- André Majorel <URL:http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/>
