Maybe just a coincident, but to me it looks like PrimeNet's checkout script evaluates the User-Agent header: Using "wget --user-agent=..." or "lynx -useragent=..." works with 'Mozilla/...': 'Mozilla/4.78 [de] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19 ppc; Nav)' 'Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.8 sun4u)' 'Mozilla/' but results into "Error 19: Unsupported access - ..." for 'Glucas/2.9' 'Lynx/2.8.4dev.7 libwww-FM/2.14' 'Mozilla' 'Wget/1.8' Klaus _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
