Sometimes when using wget, I get an error like:

Connecting to www.somewebsite.com[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:80... failed: No such file or directory.
Giving up.

But if I increase the number of tries, wget will eventually download the page.

Please can you tell me why this is, and also if there is any way to make wget more likely to download the page on its first attempt.

I'm using 1.11-alpha-1 on Windows 2000.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I posted the above question earlier today. Sorry if it seems a bit vague, but I searched the mail archive and found that someone else had the same problem a while back. The question was answered by Gisle Vanem, but I didn't understand the answer, and whether or not it was saying that anything could or would be done about it. Here's the archive page in question:

If anyone knows anything about this, please could you let me know.  Thanks.

Regards,
Jonny
