Hi Paul, thanks for this info. I'm learning about the *nix world
through MacOS X command line and I use the Fink project from
Sourceforge to install ported open source apps that run under the
XDarwin environment. I installed wget-ssl and tried your string above.
A new ubergeek directory tree was appended to my homedir, but the file
wasn't downloaded into the new subdirectory. Here's what I saw by CLI:
*****************************************

Removing www.ubergeek.tv/switchlinux/index.html since it should be
rejected.

so I don't know what that part about '...should be rejected' means.
What might I try next? I suppose this comes down to an RTFM issue ;0)
