Hi Tom,

I pasted

http://cbr-nrc.cnrc.gc.ca/srs6bin/cgi-bin/wgetz into a browser 
and got

Unknown Host

Description: Unable to locate the server named "cbr-nrc.cnrc.gc.ca" ---
the server does not have a DNS entry.  Perhaps there is a misspelling in
the server name, or the server no longer exists.  Double-check the name
and try again

Either the server's down or the name is wrong.
