Thanks for your concern,
I have a misbehavior when accessing a server on an android phone as if the android discards ARPs. I am trying to analyse a long run with random inter-requests idles so as to find a pattern in the failures

if i ask wget to output to a file, i'll end up with two files: the batch output with some variables such as the loop counter on one hand and the wget output on the other.
