I plan on trying to reproduce this by simulating connection hang via iptables rules (Linux). Right now, though, my gut instinct would be that this may be a cygwin-specific problem, and you should consider contacting them about it. Wget is currently known to have issues with timeouts related to HTTPS, but that would seem not to apply here. - -- Micah J. Cowan Programmer, musician, typesetting enthusiast, gamer.
