hello everyone,
i am unable to download anything using wget.i get an error like this

wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-relea...l5.rf.i386.rpm
--2013-08-10 18:51:09-- http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-relea...l5.rf.i386.rpm
Resolving packages.sw.be... 78.46.17.228
Connecting to packages.sw.be|78.46.17.228|:80... failed: Connection timed out.
Retrying.

wget does not work for any site..could i have gone wrong somewhere with the settings??i use CentOS 5.5

plsss help!

Check your wget configuration files to see if a bad timeout limit has been set. If you have a file called /home/user/.wgetrc then check that. If you don't have /home/user/.wgetrc then look at /etc/wgetrc. To understand the timeout values look at the wget man pages:

man wget

and take a look at the explanations for:

--timeout
--dns-timeout
--connect-timeout
--read-timeout
