25 Hi,
26 Some days ago there was such question IIRC.
27 The problem was: wget isn't compiled with ssl USE-flag, therefore can't
28 connect to SSL-enabled sites. Compile wget (or other BTW) with "+ssl".
29 Or pass it some parameter "--no-check-certificate" to connect. man wget.
30 Or just download it with a browser and copy to distfiles directory.
