Hello!

I am sitting behind a squid proxy with firewall and try to download the
update tree of a SUSE mirror for my 9.3 machine.

I tried both ftp and wget with no luck.

Here is my wget command line along with wget's output:

****start****
export ftp_proxy="http://proxy:3128/" && export http_proxy="$ftp_proxy"
&& wget --passive-ftp --proxy=on --mirror --no-parent
ftp://suse.inode.at/pub/i386/update/9.3/
--15:47:20-- ftp://suse.inode.at/pub/i386/update/9.3/
           => `suse.inode.at/pub/i386/update/9.3/index.html'

As you can see index.html (it contains the file listing of directory
suse.inode.at/pub/i386/update/9.3/) is downloaded but wget doesn't
recurse into the subdirectories!

Here is the ftp try:

****start****
bdonauba@pc20158:/tmp/su> ftp
ftp> set
anonpass bdonauba@
ftp_proxy http://proxy:3128/
http_proxy http://proxy:3128/
no_proxy localhost
pager less
prompt ftp>
rprompt
ftp> open suse.inode.at
ftp: connect: Network is unreachable
ftp>
****stop****

The ftp client recognizes my proxy settings but isn't able to connect to
the proxy/ftp server.

I need a way to download the patches easily. Perhaps someone of you is
in the same situation and has a working wget or ftp command line. A
*tar.gz file or a iso image of the .../i386/update/9.3 tree would be
the simplest solution.
