Hi,
there are quite some ftp servers out there that limit the
number of concurrent connections, sometimes to only a few.
It is hard to get a login to those sometimes, so you have
to keep on trying for quite some time.
I do however think it would be a good idea to use a retry
timeout of opt.waitretry seconds from the beginning, else
the owner of the server might become angry....
So here is a little patch, that increases the wait period
to the max immediately in case the ftp server refuses the
login. Let's be polite...
It _is_ a quick hack, misusing the count variable, this way
there's no need to change sleep_between_retrievals().
BTW, I'm not subscribed to the wget mailing list, so pls.
cc any reply directly to me.
Thnx,
Regards,
Mark Halpaap.
