Install all the upgrades for the packages you are using, for
your Redhat version. Read ww.redhat.com/errata for instructions
- it is concise and to the point, and you can believe it.
This is the recommended way, and it works fine for me.
It actually made a big improvement.
It will solve your specific problem.
wget is in on the RH5.1 CD in RedHat/RPMS/wget-1.5.0-2.i386.rpm
wget is an efficient way to download a collection of files, like the updates.
