The -T option seems to apply only to read() -- not to connect(). That's pretty worthless.
If I specify -t1 -t5, and the host is not responding (in connect()) then wget takes a full *15 minutes* to time out. This makes it somewhat less than useful when you're trying to do smart things in shell scripts. Please also set an exit alarm around your calls to connect() based on the -T option. -- Jamie Zawinski [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jwz.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.dnalounge.com/
