Server admins are banning wget now because it requests everything uncompressed and uses 4 times the bandwidth as other programs. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?44816> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
