[Apologies if this is a dupe, I'm not sure it made it to the list the first time.] Howdy, It seems to me that fetch(1) cannot actually fetch files over a v6 connection. For example, the following works: fetch -s -P -6 http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/xchat/xchat-2.6.0.tar.bz2 796768 But remove the -s and try to fetch the file and it hangs until it times out: xchat-2.6.0.tar.bz2 0% of 778 kB 0 Bps fetch: transfer timed out fetch: xchat-2.6.0.tar.bz2 appears to be truncated: 0/796768 bytes tcpdump on that interface shows no packets flowing between my host and the remote host while it hangs. So, is this supposed to work? Any comments or suggestions? I should also note that surfing IPv6 sites with my web browser works fine. Thanks, Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
