Hi,
I also have a dual boot configuration between WinXP and Fedora Core 3, with both fully updated. I recently downloaded a several hundred megabyte file via wget under Fedora Core 3, and there were no problems.

Subject: Help! wget timing out under linux
Hi all,
I am trying to download files with wget under linux (new install of Fedora Core 3) and it keeps timing out.
I'm trying to figure out if this is a wget problem or a connection problem (I see this problem across servers, so I don't believe it is a server problem). The machine I am using is dual bootable between linux and winxp. If I run wget under winxp, it works fine. My machine is connected to a netgear firewall (which acts as a DHCP server) and then from there to an internet gateway. So, given that wget works from winxp and not from linux (on the same machine), I don't think it is a problem with my connection or firewall (although it could be a problem with the linux configuration).
I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling wget with the same results (so I don't think it is a bad install). I also have no problems downloading large (multi-mb) files using firefox browser as well as apt-get (updates, upgrades, and installs).
I am running version 1.9.1:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mythtv]# rpm -qa | grep wget wget-1.9.1-16.fc2
Below is a snippet of the output from a sample session (stopped after the retry). Are there additional settings / diagnostics I can use to determine what exactly is causing the timeout? My timeout setting for this run was 30 seconds, but I get the same result with the default 15 minutes; once it stops downloading, it just sits until the timeout expires. Also, my .wgetrc file only has settings for tries = 5, timeout = 30, and debug = on (possibly also verbose = on, but not sure, don't have the .wgetrc file in front of me), which I set up to debug the problem (originally I didn't have a .wgetrc and still had the problem).
Thanks, phlepper
