OK, that's been a little longer than expected because of problems IRL.
I have committed a change that will make wget and curl timeout after a few
minutes, and try http:// as a failover for those sites that do support
http:// equivalents of the ftp:// URIs.

There's also three new options that configure either no proxy, an HTTP proxy,
or a SOCKS 4/5 proxy, namely CT_PROXY_TYPE_NONE, CT_PROXY_TYPE_HTTP and
CT_PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS. You can then enter the host, port, user name and password
to the proxy. Of course, you'll have to have such a machine accessible.

Could you have a try, please?

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
