Unfortunately it does actually seem to be a networking issue. I just tried to wget the current fdnpkg file from ibiblio.org and it failed, reporting: "Resolving www.ibiblio.org... failed: No address associated with hostname. wget.exe: unable to resolve host address 'www.ibiblio.org'". I did forget to mention this in my first email but I did previously try adding 8.8.8.8 as a NAMESERVER_PREFERRED in the MTCP config file but it had the same problem.
