Hello. During download with wget I've redirected output into file with the following command:
$ LC_ALL=C wget -o output 'ftp://mirror.yandex.ru/gentoo-distfiles/distfiles/OOo_3.0.0rc4_20080930_LinuxIntel_langpack_en-GB.tar.gz' I've set LC_ALL and LANG explicitly to be sure that this is not locale related problem. The output I saw in output file was: --2008-10-25 14:51:17-- ftp://mirror.yandex.ru/gentoo-distfiles/distfiles/OOo_3.0.0rc4_20080930_LinuxIntel_langpack_en-GB.tar.gz => `OOo_3.0.0rc4_20080930_LinuxIntel_langpack_en-GB.tar.gz.13' Resolving mirror.yandex.ru... 77.88.19.68 Connecting to mirror.yandex.ru|77.88.19.68|:21... connected.

I don't know why sometimes this number jumps, but in some cases it cause the following output at the end of download: 13300K .......... ... 100% 26101G=1m45s Obviously I don't have possibility to download with such high (26101G=1m45s) speed. This is reproducible with wget 1.11.4. -- Peter.
