hopping you gents can help out a total beginner using Linux.

I have tried the tutorial on adifruit but can't get cgminer to download.

whenever I put the line


wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/3.1/cgminer-3.1.1.tar.bz2

I get a message along the lines of: failed.  timed out
and it retries over and over continually timing our
after a few minutes each time

do I need to change a timeout setting and if so
could someone help me learn how?

thanks
