Greetings! First of all, thanks for maintaining this wonderful software that I've been using for years without (code) problems.
Today however, I noticed wget behaving in a way that seems counter-intuitive to me: ------------------------------------------------------------ 8< ------------------------------------------------------------ mirror@host:~> wget -t 1 --bind-address=123.123.123.123 www.google.com --2015-09-02 15:33:17-- http://www.google.com/ Resolving www.google.com (www.google.com)... 2a00:1450:400f:805::2004, 216.58.209.100 Connecting to www.google.com (www.google.com)|2a00:1450:400f:805::2004|:80... failed: Invalid argument.

Giving up. mirror@host:~> wget -nv -t 1 --bind-address=123.123.123.123 www.google.com mirror@host:~> echo $? 4 ------------------------------------------------------------ >8 ------------------------------------------------------------ (I'm deliberately trying to bind an IP that is not mine to provoke the error.) According to the docs, "-nv" only suppresses non-errors. Are those messages not considered errors? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards Christopher 'm4z' Holm "We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart." --H.
