hello.

i'm finding wget really useful for my dial up connection at home, and I
am trying to set it up in work, as there are some web based documents I
would like to store in my home directory. 

I have given the program the following arguments:

wget --background --output-file=/home/burnett/wget.log --tries=30
--server-response --directory-prefix=/home/burnett/download --recursive
--level=0 --domains=redhat.com
http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html 

however the download fails to run, with the following output in the log
file:

--16:24:11--  http://www.nitpickers.com:80/
           => `/home/burnett/download/www.nitpickers.com/index.html'
Connecting to www.nitpickers.com:80... 
connect: Connection timed out
Retrying.
.
.
.
(program continually retries and fails with the same error)

i've tried enabling and disabling most of the setting, (i,e the proxy,
suppling http passwords, and so forth),
but the problem always stays the same.

any suggestions would be greatly appricitated.

Gavin.
