[PLUG] wget fails to connect, firefox connects

[Rich Shepard]

   I was sent a URL to download a file and passed the URL to wget, which
thought about the task before giving up and telling me the network (in South
America) was not reachable so it could not connect.

   Pasting the URL in firefox immediately initiated downloading the file.

   As a non-expert in wget I'm curious why it might fail while the browser
succeeds.

   Here's the URL:
