Could you check crosstool-0.28-rc30 and see if the new
way I use wget fixes this?  getandpatch.sh now downloads like this:

downloadFile()
{
        # Note: if you need to use a proxy, try
        # export http_proxy=<proxy_host>:<port>
        wget --tries=5 -P ${TARBALLS_DIR} -c $1 || wget --tries=5 --passive-ftp -P ${TARBALLS_DIR} -c $1
        # FIXME: support curl on systems that don't have wget
}
