can't get to stats.allstarlink.org page. also my node is unable to get there and its cause multiple, multiple instances of wget to appear. I don't think the statpost code is handling failures to get to the stats page very well. its kind of obsessing over retrys and not killing of the children. I killed off all of them just before I loaded the browser and went to hotmail to send this. I just checked and this is what I got. ps -ax output: 18197 ?
