Description Greg Watson (linuxkrn) 2003-10-09 17:36:45 UTC
Wget fails to download enemy territory

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -u enemy-territory
2. download will fail
3.

Actual Results:  
ftp will hang and not download

Expected Results:  
download of bin and install.

Adding --passive-ftp to wget resolves this issue.  It appears to be needed by
3dgamers ftp servers.

# Default fetch command (5 tries, passive ftp for firewall compatibility)
#FETCHCOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -t 5 --passive-ftp \${URI} -P \${DISTDIR}"
#RESUMECOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -c -t 5 --passive-ftp \${URI} -P \${DISTDIR}"

default is to use passive ... if it isnt on your side, you probably changed
something ;)
