Well its connecting to sourceforge okay and getting a response (200)
back. It's not an RKH or sourceforge problem - otherwise everyone would
be getting the error.

I am a little lost as to why only this file is causing a problem.

Can you run 'wget -V' please so that I can see the wget version number.

Can you also maybe try using something like 'curl' or 'lynx' instead of
wget. For curl use:

   curl --fail --output "/tmp/backpfile"
       http://rkhunter.sourceforge.net/1.3/backdoorports.dat

For lynx:

   lynx -source http://rkhunter.sourceforge.net/1.3/backdoorports.dat
>/tmp/backpfile
