It appears that --connect-timeout doesn't work on recent versions of wget when running on Windows (compiled with mingw). I have confirmed this with my own builds of wget (available at <https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/>, both 1.16.3 and 1.13), and with the builds available here: <http://opensourcepack.blogspot.com/2010/05/wget-112-for-windows.html>.
This is pretty trivial to test - I used wget --connect-timeout=1 http://192.0.2.1:12345/ ...and wget just hung there (I left it for a few minutes). The old gnuwin32 build (1.11.4) doesn't have this problem. -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><><><><><><><><>< http://eternallybored.org/ > Because 10 billion years' time is so fragile, so ephemeral... it arouses such a bittersweet, almost heartbreaking fondness.
