Hi, I am forwarding Debian bug 113281 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=113281&repeatmerged=yes
It still applies to 1.8.1. I am sure it is a bug though ---- wget doesn't wait when retrying to connect to an FTP server. Not sure if this affects HTTP downloads. In the case shown below, I was attempting to download from a server that had reached its user limit. wget would retry every second or two, eventually resulting in my system being temporarily banned from the server (the last attempt reflects this change). I tried this with both `wget -w 40 <url>' (should be the same as `wget --wait=40 <url>') and `wget --waitretry=40 <url>' [mike@3po][~/download]$ wget --waitretry=40 ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/wolf/linux/wolfmptest-0.7.16-1.x86.run --15:02:37-- ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/wolf/linux/wolfmptest-0.7.16-1.x86.run => `wolfmptest-0.7.16-1.x86.run' Connecting to ftp.idsoftware.com:21... connected!
