It's the classical question, how can you tell if a program is dead or
just very very slow.

The usual answer is "define a timeout".

    wget -v -d --timeout 5 gerrit.ovirt.org

currently fails after a minute or two of trying. BTW, you could add
`date` before and after `wget` to see if that's the case.
