+Turn off the ``keep-alive'' feature for HTTP downloads. Normally, Wget
+asks the server to keep the connection open so that, when you download
+more than one document from the same server, they get transferred over
+the same TCP connection. This saves time and at the same time reduces
+the load on the server.
+
+This option is useful when, for some reason, persistent (keep-alive)
+connections don't work for you, for example due to a server bug or due
+to the inability of server-side scripts to cope with the connections.

-There are several Wget-related mailing lists. The general discussion
-list is at @email{wget@@sunsite.dk}. It is the preferred place for
-support requests and suggestions, as well as for discussion of
-development. You are invited to subscribe.

-To subscribe, simply send mail to @email{wget-subscribe@@sunsite.dk}
-and follow the instructions. Unsubscribe by mailing to
-@email{wget-unsubscribe@@sunsite.dk}. The mailing list is archived at
+The primary mailinglist for discussion, bug-reports, or questions

+
+Previously, the mailing list @email{wget@@sunsite.dk} was used as the
+main discussion list, and another list,
+@email{wget-patches@@sunsite.dk} was used for submitting and
+discussing patches to GNU Wget.

-Another mailing list is at @email{wget-patches@@sunsite.dk}, and is
-used to submit patches for review by Wget developers. A ``patch'' is
-a textual representation of change to source code, readable by both
-humans and programs. The
-@url{http://wget.addictivecode.org/PatchGuidelines} page
-covers the creation and submitting of patches in detail. Please don't
-send general suggestions or bug reports to @samp{wget-patches}; use it
-only for patch submissions.

-Subscription is the same as above for @email{wget@@sunsite.dk}, except
-that you send to @email{wget-patches-subscribe@@sunsite.dk}, instead.

-Finally, there is the @email{wget-notify@@addictivecode.org} mailing
-list. This is a non-discussion list that receives bug report-change
