Hans, I'm investigating this as a proxy server problem. When I ran some tests, it appeared as though the HEAD command from wget was getting "translated" into a series of commands to query the size, MDMT of the file, etc., but then I was seeing a STOR command come from the proxy server, which was getting failed by the FTP server. If you'd like to co-ordinate some tests off-list, we can see if something similar is happening to you.
Do you know what proxy server you are using?

It doe s wo rk with 1.5.3 Hi again. Some people have reported experiencing the same problem, but nobody from the development team has forwarded a comment on this. Anybody can tell us if this is bug or some config issue?
