<br>
</div>That is very strange. I can only assume that wget on your computer is<br>
actually broekn.<br>
<br>
Can you please type in the following on a shell prompt:<br>
<br>
wget --user-agent=texlive/wget --tries=10 --timeout=900 <a href="http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/publishing/tex/CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet//tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.xz" target="_blank">http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/publishing/tex/CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet//tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.xz</a><br>
<br>
ans see if that downloads something at all? Are there any error messages?<br>
<div class="im"><br>
Best wishes<br>
<br>

</div>And wow! Hey! What's this thing coming towards me very<br>
fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a<br>
big wide sounding word like... ow... ound... round...<br>
ground! That's it! That's a good name - ground!<br>
I wonder if it will be friends with me?<br>

I tried cambridge mirror some time back, around 10.40AM, which means it is around 5.10AM in <br>
UK with the same result.<br>
<br>
I also tried out the wget I have as part of the OS:<br>
export http_proxy=<a href="http://190.10.40.250:8080/(Just">http://190.10.40.250:8080/(Just</a> o be sure.)<br>
followed by <br>
wget <a href="http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/publishing/tex/CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet//tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.xz">http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/publishing/tex/CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet//tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.xz</a><br>
with the same result. <br>
