Wget supports proxy servers, which can lighten the network load, speed

-Wget crashes while downloading @samp{wget -rl0 -kKE -t5 -Y0
+Wget crashes while downloading @samp{wget -rl0 -kKE -t5 --no-proxy
http://yoyodyne.com -o /tmp/log}, you should try to see if the crash is
repeatable, and if will occur with a simpler set of options. You might
even try to start the download at the page where the crash occurred to
