The file is 1310 kbytes.

On a 56kbit dial-up connection, your throughput should be 5.5 kbyte/sec.

1310 / 5.5 = 238 seconds.  That's about 4 minutes.  Shouldn't take you 
1/2 hour to download a 1.3 megabyte file.

Firefox 2.0.0.20 can download the above zip file with no problem.

Odd thing I'm finding about wget lately.  I've got 2 versions of it on 
my win-98 computer.  Both of them are giving me this error:

    idn_decode failed (9): 'System iconv failed'

This is not a host-ip DNS resolution failure, and this has nothing to do 
with using wget to retrieve an https url.

wget used to work, but I haven't used it in a while.
