Re^2: LWP and WWW:Mechanize not working (you think)

I tried mech dump, and it gave a nearly identical error message - here it is:

Error GETing http://www.google.com/googlebooks/uspto-patents-grants-text.html: S tatus read failed: A non-blocking socket operation could not be completed immedi ately. at C:\Perl64\bin/mech-dump line 103.

Also, I can't seem to locate a way to download curl, wget, or either of the others - can you help me out? Sorry for the kiddy question, I've gotten really used to easy downloads where the download is a big button on the page :P

Are you using a firewall? Got proxy? http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm / https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChToolsCygwin.html / http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/winwget_portable `wget -A.pdf -Ivideos -l1 -N -nd -erobots=off http... wget -r -A.pdf http://url-to-webpage-with-pdfs/` [download] http://www.httrack.com/page/2/ http://curl.haxx.se/download.html#Win64 / http://curl.haxx.se/download.html#Win32	[reply] [d/l]

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

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	[reply]
