I have been running the following on Red Hat 7.3 and Mandrake 8.2 (wget 1.8.1):
wget -m -w60 http://www.manchester.com -o log.txt
for some time with no problem. Having upgraded to RH 8.0 & Mk 9.0 (wget 1.8.2), I now find that I am spanning external hosts. I have read the documentation and I think this behaviour is not correct ie. host spanning should be off by default. I have also seen in the mailing lists a report of someone seeing this with Debian.
I have tried some additional options (eg. -L) without success. Also, I have reinstalled wget 1.8.1 in Mk 9.0, again with no change.
It seems that there has been some change in a dependency which is causing this. Is this a bug?
