No, it is working for me now, and fast, on my desktop computer. On my laptop it did not, for two days at least.

The responses are the same, the only difference is the IP number.
I don't understand it. Maybe different versions of the apps. I'll log the versions here for comparing later:
GNU Wget 1.14 built on linux-gnu. wget-1.14-8.3.1.x86_64 cut (GNU coreutils) 8.25 coreutils-8.25-1.4.x86_64
Perhaps a locale difference?
Just a thought: could it be that the laptop connects through a different router to the internet? Maybe using the WLAN of a neighbor or similar?
It certainly does, but that only means the IP is different. You can see above the output of wget on both cases, and it is exactly the same bar the IP numbers. Unless there are invisible chars. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
