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 John. -- ---------------------------------------------------- John Horne Tel: +44 (0)1752 587287 Plymouth University, UK Fax: +44 (0)1752 587001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
