Hi,

I am not using a proxy, however it is possible that ISP has a transparent
cache/proxy. (at&t)

Maybe I could release IP and request another one? I'm not sure it's worth it
though..  (?) I was able to get the file  from another host (manually) and
continue without further issues..

telnet to port 80 connects but doesn't respond to HEAD request from this
machine.

Thanks
