Comment 0 for bug 84104

Version GNU Wget 1.10.2

When downloading a big file from a website that is using a dynamic DNS service, it the IP changes, the connection is broken to the server. When trying to reconnect wget isn't doing a DNS lookup, and keeps trying the old IP address.

1) start a big download from a site using a dynamic DNS
2) cause the sites IP address to change (i.e. reset ADSL modem)

Wget will try to reconnect

3) note that "$ dig <host name>" reports new IP address of host
4) note that wget is still trying to contact old IP address
