Delete one (possibly smallish) of those files and rerun without -d. What happens ? Heiko Herold

And this time it worked. I got all the mozilla files plus two more: htdig-3.2.0-2.011302.i386.rpm htdig-web-3.2.0-2.011302.i386.rpm These looked like this in the regular ftp listing: -rw-rw-r-- 1 2220 235 5185550 Mar 12 19:47 htdig-3.2.0-2.011302.i386.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 2220 235 61579 Mar 12 19:47 htdig-web-3.2.0-2.011302.i386.rpm I see about three possibilities: 1. My clock changed by several days in the last few minutes. Well, I run an ntpd and looking at the logs I don't see any time adjustment today (I see some a few days ago, so I am looking in the right logs). 2. Red Hat didn't have the rpm's up when I ran wget the first time. 3. A bug in wget. 4. I am deluded and don't know what I am seeing. 5. I am lacking in imagination and am missing the obvious. Do you see a wget bug here? Thanks, -kb, the Kent who is leaving the "-d" in his script for the moment.
