Downgrading accordingly. Agreed, but one problem with wget is that it tries extremly hard to download files (retries 20 times by default, with a 900 seconds timeout each time !). I would recommend changing the wget call so that it runs wget --timeout=60 --tries=2, which would be much more tolerable than waiting for 20*900=18000 seconds. Tagging +patch, even if this is just a workaround to make the situation slightly better. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
