Resently I'm having problems with d/l from some sites using http. E.g.:
wget -d http://lynx.isc.org/current/lynx2.8.7dev.7.tar.bz2 DEBUG output created by Wget 1.10+devel on Windows-MinGW. --14:42:04-- http://lynx.isc.org/current/lynx2.8.7dev.7.tar.bz2 Resolving lynx.isc.org... seconds 0.00, 204.152.184.112 Caching lynx.isc.org => 204.152.184.112 Connecting to lynx.isc.org|204.152.184.112|:80... seconds 0.00, connected.

Retrying. -------------------- The same happens on the 2nd, 3rd.. retry. It seems there's an issue with the HEAD request. Maybe some servers doesn't like it? Can anybody on Win32 try the above url? All this is with a fresh SVN checkout. Built on MingW. --gv
