It has a disallow on /cgi-bin For more read this http://addictivecode.org/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#robots You could disable robots.txt (not polite) or in your example case it looks like disabling recursion would be just as good: wget "http://weather.uwyo.edu/cgi-bin/sounding?region=seasia&TYPE=TEXT:LIST&YEAR=2010&MONTH=11&FROM=0100&TO=0712&STNM=45004:";
