Are there wget instances alive when using firefox to browse? There might be some in backgroud. Run command such as "killall wget", then try to brower again. Another suggestion is using lftp instead of wget for downloading files in ftp. I hope these will help you. 2006/11/11, Barry Yu <barryyu-cts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
I used to use wget to download update rpm packages; wget -cnd --mirror ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386/*.rpm This had been working fine until lately, stop working, wget can login the ftp repository, but and then stop going further like this; ==> SYST ... done. ==> PWD ... done. ==> TYPE I ... done. ==> CWD /pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386 ... done. ==> PASV ... done. ==> LIST ... done. 100%[++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=>] 6,268,498 --.--K/s ETA 00:00 I tried using firefox to brow into this ftp server, and got message " There are too many connections from your internet address ". Seems this ftp server had change something, I could not even browse into it, how can I use the wget to download updates from it again?
