[Wp-mirror-list] wpmirror 0.7.4 on Debian wheezy 7.6 fails internet assert during initial mirror

[Jason Cooper]

Kent,

I've got the following bug while attempting to run wpmirror for the
first time on a fresh install of Debian Wheezy 7.6.

I extracted the wget command which fails from ps output and ran it
without the '--quiet' argument:

[and so on for a minute or so ...]

The *really* frustrating part, is that it refuses to honor my changes to
/etc/wp-mirror/local.conf.

Here's the entirety of the uncommented portion:

---------------------------->8--------------------------------------------
(defparameter *wikimedia-site-idump*
    "http://dumps.wikimedia.org/";
)
(defparameter *wikimedia-site-image*
  "http://upload.wikimedia.org/";
)
(defparameter *wikimedia-site-xdump*
  "http://dumps.wikimedia.org/";
)
---------------------------->8--------------------------------------------

I deleted all references to 'your.org' urls, and the damn thing still
lists it for -idump...

Any insight?  What am I doing wrong?

thx,

Jason.
