That's a link at the bottom of the page (Product Catalog) and that 
machine seems down at the moment.  Seems like the older version of wget 
processes the links in a different order than the newer (all robots.txt 
files first?).  Probably the new version would hang too, after it got 
through to the bad link.

You can probably use --exclude-domains to keep things on this server. 
You might also like -A.zip if all you want is the zip files.  And maybe 
--no-parent as well.

HTH,
Dave
