No such file or directory error

[www.mail]

Hi,

Sometimes when using wget, I get an error like:
Connecting to www.somewebsite.com[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:80... failed: No 
such file or directory.
Giving up.

But if I increase the number of tries, wget will eventually download the page.

Please can you tell me why this is, and also if there is any way to 
make wget more likely to download the page on its first attempt.

I'm using 1.11-alpha-1 on Windows 2000.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Jonny
