Package: wget Version: 1.11.4-2 Severity: wishlist Some sites or networks fail in ways where a connection drops to a trickle (a few hundred or thousand bytes per second) but does not actually die; this can happen, for instance, if few or no network packets get through but no TCP disconnect occurs. Killing wget and restarting it (always using -c) fixes the problem, but requires manually babysitting the download or writing a hackish script to do so. It would help to have a wget option which monitors the download rate and treats the connection as failed if the rate drops below a given threshold for a given time (for instance, under 10Kbps for more than 5 seconds).
