Well we don't work there where you do, so we don't know the inner workings of your network and what all might be causing an issue.

There are some things that KiXtart just can't natively do and socket manipulation is one of them.

If WGET is doing what you want, then nothing wrong with it until such time as maybe KiXtart does support it.

I think KiXforms has some support but how much I'm not sure.
