Greetings,
I'm signed up for the progeny transition service to get rpms for my redhat 8 server. I've tried using wget to grab the rpms off their site but keep running into this error:

**
Connecting to transition.progeny.com[69.44.152.73]:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 302 Found
Location: http://transition.progeny.com/private/updates/8.0/RPMS/netpbm-progs-9.24-9.80.2.progeny.1.i386.rpm [following]
http://transition.progeny.com/private/updates/8.0/RPMS/netpbm-progs-9.24-9.80.2.progeny.1.i386.rpm: Redirection cycle detected.
**

In order to get these rpms I have been downloading them to my pc via browser and then uploading them to my server. this is a pain in the neck.

anyone else have experience with this?

A redirection cycle is when page A redirects you to page B, and page B redirects you back to page A. Of course, it can involve any number of pages, not just two. Such a cycle can happen with buggy dynamic contents.

^ that page gives you a patch. you can try it but don't be to hopeful.
