It's been about 3 months it was not working. I've traced the code to see
where the error was and so for 2 days.
Today I've tried it again to check the error and opps!!! it's working
again.

I don't know what happend.

thank you anyway and sorry about this

What exactly is the error?  As in 403 permission denied, or permission
denied writing the file, or what?  If it's 403, then it's the server at
fault.  If it can't write the file, then check you've got write
permissions to the directory.  If you actually mean 'connection refused',
then have you tried setting up with a proxy?

If they're matching on wget, then you can tell wget to act as netscape,
with the --user-agent line.  Something like:

  wget --user-agent="Mozilla 4.05 Linux/i586" http://host.com/
