Thanks for the reply, but I believe my problem is different from yours.

I can pluck the wired-news website okay (no timeouts encountered) and from the output 
printed on my screen (and redirected to a log file), plucker-build appears to be 
fetching the news stories.  But for some reason, the stories do not get stored in the 
resulting .pdb file.

Will it help if I attached the log file and the pdb file?  If so, let me know and I'll 
send it.

Regards,
Kam-Yung
