When I issue the command "wget www.bbc.com", it successfully downloads the following file: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" content="0; URL=http://www.bbc.co.uk/?ok";> <TITLE>British Broadcasting Corporation </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="white"> </BODY> </HTML> You might want to try "wget http://www.bbc.co.uk";. I think http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/faq.html should have another question: "Why did my download fail and how can I get it to work?" In the answer to that question we should mention all the common failure modes: disallowed by robots.txt, need to set user agent to look like a browser, META refresh (as above), etc. along with the command line options to resolve the failure. Also, perhaps the next version of wget can handle META refresh. Tony
