It looks like you are saying that you downloaded the Ghost zipfile. Is
that correct? It is refusing to download for me. It starts downloading
and fails after about 10 seconds, saying "source could not be read".

The file is 1.3mb. It will take a half hour on my dialup, but I can
usually DL files of that size without problems.

The file is 1310 kbytes.

On a 56kbit dial-up connection, your throughput should be 5.5 kbyte/sec.

1310 / 5.5 = 238 seconds. That's about 4 minutes. Shouldn't take you
1/2 hour to download a 1.3 megabyte file.

Firefox 2.0.0.20 can download the above zip file with no problem.

Do you have a copy of "wget.exe" ?

Odd thing I'm finding about wget lately. I've got 2 versions of it on
my win-98 computer. Both of them are giving me this error:

idn_decode failed (9): 'System iconv failed'

This is not a host-ip DNS resolution failure, and this has nothing to do
with using wget to retrieve an https url.

wget used to work, but I haven't used it in a while.
