[SOLVED] Wget: always "Connection refused"

zheiling · 2019-03-28 15:19:07

Every time I'm running wget it only returns "Connection refused".
And this problem is not connected with my Internet provider, because from another device everything works fine.
I don't use any VPN or Proxy.

Strange. On my system it always echoes this:

wget: missing URL
Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...

Try `wget --help' for more options.

I.e. what exact command are you typing in and what exaclty is the output?

For example:

$> wget http://dist.libuv.org/dist/v1.9.1/libuv-v1.9.1.tar.gz
--2019-03-28 17:35:19--  http://dist.libuv.org/dist/v1.9.1/libuv-v1.9.1.tar.gz
Connecting to 173.249.48.140:8080... failed: Connection refused.

And that's all...

Forwards me to https on port 443. "nmap -p 8080 dist.libuv.org" will tell you that the port is closed.
Can you "wget https://dist.libuv.org/dist/v1.9.1/libuv-v1.9.1.tar.gz"?

Please also prvide

which wget
type wget

You also may be a victim of geoblocking.

Edit:
What happens on:

wget https://home.richard-neumann.de/pub/screenshot-wks-2019.png

Now that shard says it… the server is resolved to 138.197.224.240 for me.
173.249.48.140 is a hoster in Munich and only listens to ssh. There's a DNS resolution problem on your side.

wget is /usr/bin/wget

Now that @seth said it. It's strange that all hosts are resolved to 173.249.48.140.
You definitely need to check your DNS settings.

Just tried the same from Windows on the same machine and it successfully downloaded.

Do you understand what DNS is?

dig google.com
dig @8.8.8.8 google.com

zheiling · 2019-03-28 16:03:07

Found it! I totally forget about .wgetrc in my home directory, which contained outdated proxy settings.
Thanks, @schard and @seth for help!

Cool.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
