No, neither a proxy or firewall are up at the moment. Maybe Windows 8 is screwing it up somehow?

    Maybe Windows 8 is screwing it up somehow?

    Maybe, I've certainly seen stuff like that happen, especially with "winmodems" and stuff, but I wouldn't reach for that conclusion until everything (wget/curl...) starts failing in similar ways

      I've tried wget, curl, and a few other things - even a method that worked yesterday, and today the method I used to download a test file off the net with perl, doesn't work.

      Every time I use lwp to connect ANYWHERE on the net with perl, it gives me the "500 Status Read Failed" error, "a non-blocking socket operation could not be completed immediately". Help?

        So wget/curl and the rest don't work?

        Which version of perl (perl -V) do you have? Which version of LWP ( lwp-request -v)?
