I'm using wget-1.8.2-14.72 on RHEL 2.1. Here are some notable circumstances... * I could not resolve the sandgnat.com domain during the outage. DNS couldn't even give me the IP address, presumably because your authoritative name servers were also on the DSL line? * I ran the my_rules_du_jour script (not the original rules_du_jour). When I ran it manually, it would hang and a subsequent look at processes showed the wget process active and attempting to connect to sandgnat.com. * Turning off the "DON'T_CHECK_FOR_RDJ_UPDATES" option fixed the problem (as suggested by Damian Derow). Of course, everything is working fine now. Nathan
