machine "1" runs 14.1 14.2 14.2+
when using the command wget in 14.2+ wget hangs for like 5 min.
then every thing slows a bit.
machine "1" 14.1 and 14.2 work perfect.

Machine "2" has a clone of machine 1's 14.2+ no issue.

any Ideas same problem as root or any user.

trying to get verbose feed back has not been good.

Try adding this line to /etc/resolv.conf:

give it a shot thanks let you know. I tried it dhcpcd over writes it as it should.
the moment I call on wget it over writes it also.
strange.
not going to do a static over this something got to be wrong in this.
this all started think after bind update but the other machine no problem.

Very strange have to kill eth0 then dhcpcd it again and everything works.
I started networkmanager from command line. then used it to disconnect
and reconnect again to eth0 and wget works fine.
my usual start up is inet1.conf eth0 yes.
very strange wonders why wget and dhcpcd are running into
something stale.
if set to use just networkmanager it keeps connecting and disconnecting
even as root user.

Try to cut off your ipv6. Use wget -4 downloaded_file and tell us whats happened. I think only few things on your pc can be:
1. IPv6
2. Firewall
3. Route problem
4. Hardware problem

You can use strece or gdb to see what's happened.

1. IPv6 = no
2. Firewall = no
3. Route problem = no
4. Hardware problem = no

The issue is this installation of slackware.
since it has been around since 13.37 and updated modified through
the years. I am sure it is something I have done unknowingly.

unable to reproduce on same equipment other installations I will not
at this time mark solved.

roll it back to another back up clone of the system and
proceed from there in my spare time.
take a deep look at dhcp and SSL on this particular system.
This system is far from default.

My slackware was updated from the same version across the years.
Do strace /usr/bin/wget -4 download or tcpdump . Strace output will be large, so look for line:

socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC|SOCK_NONBLOCK, IPPROTO_IP) = 3

and see whats happened after a few lines below.

First test other solutions to be sure it is wget related. Say rsync, curl, sftp. Whatever you have at hand.

curl is being problematic also. gildbg I will run that strace get back with you.

I really appreciate everyones help. As of now unable to reproduce the error.
after 5 days of wrestling with this just going round and round do to my nvidia upgrade script and builds the intrd.img
before rebooting. It relies on wget. and as you know . Pat keeps building new ones.

Use at your own risk. I been Tweaking it for the latest nvida modules for a while.
good little tool. https://github.com/Drakeo/update-nvidia-mkinitrd
