Hi All,

I am trying to do this with wget:

wget --connect-timeout=20 --read-timeout=1  --quiet  \
http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/utility/ -O -

Problem: the site takes FOREVER to complete its download.  Dribble,
dribble, dribble.  Occasionally is just stops.  And wget hangs.

I fired this web page up in Firefox ten minutes ago and it is still
loading!

Is there a way to get wget to just time out after a while?

"--connect-timeout" doesn't seem to work as it makes a connection.

Or maybe, even better, limit the read to the first 200 bytes,
which is all I need.  (Not finding an option in "man wget" or
"man curl".)

Many thanks,
-T
