Problems downloading using curl and wget

I'm not sure if this is a Linux issue for me or something to post to the jboss wildfly forums. I am trying to download wildfly onto a centos box using wget or curl. The commands I tried are:

wget http://download.jboss.org/wildfly/9....2.Final.tar.gz

curl -O http://download.jboss.org/wildfly/9....2.Final.tar.gz

In both cases, the downloads failed saying the connection was refused but if I post the same URL, http://download.jboss.org/wildfly/9....2.Final.tar.gz, into a browser the file downloads just fine. I was able to download other files from other JBoss servers so I don't know if it is a problem with my request or their server.

Any ideas what might be wrong, if anything, on my end?

Thanks.

Not sure, I just tried the wget version on my machine and it's working fine.

Code:

curl -O http://download.jboss.org/wildfly/9.0.2.Final/wildfly-9.0.2.Final.tar.gz

works from here.

Are you getting this message?

Code:

the connection was refused when attempting to contact http://(site your trying to go to) though the site seems valid the browser was unable to establish a connection

That happened to me the other day that I tried to go to the CUPS website.
Upon running 'cupsd' in the konsole solved that.

-::-The problem might be with their server and or your ISP could be putting a cap on what you can download.-::-

what ever happened to FTP?

Code:

userx@voided ~>>$lftp http://download.jboss.org/wildfly

cd: received redirection to `http://download.jboss.org/wildfly/'

cd: Access failed: 403 Forbidden (/wildfly)

userx@voided ~>>$lftp http://download.jboss.org/

cd ok, cwd=/

lftp download.jboss.

looks like the directrory wildfly is forbidden usig lftp

Question:

why dont you just open a browser and download it like that?
or
just click on it in your question here and it works for me :D

try command below just check if you are able to resolve successfully or whether the file exists, anyway it won't download the file so no harm.

wget --spider http://download.jboss.org/wildfly/9....2.Final.tar.gz

Good luck!!

Had to put the actual complete address in to get that to work
sorry I was courious too ;)

Thanks, all. I'll try the spider option. It sounds like others here have had mixed results, too. I assume the issue is on the side of the Jboss server. I have been focused on other things and haven't got to work on this for a couple weeks but I do appreciate the help and support. I'll try it again later this week, I hope.

Let us know what progress you make.

Looks like a reverse proxy server side issue.
My opinion is that, for some reason, the firewall between you and the web server (akamai side) think that your wget or curl -O is an attack.
