I sent this query out a while ago and got no responses, so resending. I'd really like to know if there is a mechanism for telling wget not to treat certain errors as non-fatal and retry. If there isn't such a mechanism right now I would strongly push for having this as an enhancement. Where do enhancement requests go? This list?
