i don't know if this will help but, instead of using the "don't check the 
certificate" option, i'd be looking to get a version of wget that has ssl 
compatibility compiled in it... either that, or if your oinkmaster is using 
internal libraries, instead of external apps like wget, then you must also make 
sure that the necessary perl libs are in place so that oinkmaster can load and 
use them...

something else to be aware of is that the cloud servers may issue 500, 404, or 
403 responses without much of any real message as to why... it used to be that 
the 403 actually carried a reliable message but now just spits out a "forbidden" 
response... things used to be much nicer and easier to deal with some 2 or 3 
months ago before all these recent changes went into effect... at this point, i 
can only attribute these problems to "growing pains" ;)
