I've found a URL which seems to cause wget to hang:
https://www.nexternal.com/k2parts
I've tested using lynx and ethereal to try to debug. The problem happens
when the server redirects to a https: on a different host. Though I
don't know if that's a problem.
Any suggestions? Please forward CC
True, the man page doesn't say --spider will tell me the size of a
file without fetching it, but I already got used to that on http, but
for ftp,
wget --spider -Y off -S ftp://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/pub/gmt/4/GMT_high.tar.bz2
just give some messages, ending in
