I have very much set this, and uscan *does* work for other sites. > In either case, could you please try running uscan with the --debug flag > and send the output to the bug report? OK, so here it is: uscan debug: requesting URL http://download.dajobe.org/flickcurl/ uscan debug: received content: [gzipped content][End of received content] uscan debug: matching pattern (?:(?:http://download.dajobe.org)?\/flickcurl\/)?flickcurl-(.*)\.tar\.gz uscan warning: In ./watch, no matching hrefs for watch line http://download.dajobe.org/flickcurl/ flickcurl-(.*)\.tar\.gz Note that I have deliberately "cut" the gzipped content. Another observation is this: <shell> [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/temp] export http_proxy="..." [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/temp] wget http://download.dajobe.org/flickcurl/ -O index.html --06:22:11-- http://download.dajobe.org/flickcurl/ => `index.html' Resolving localhost... 127.0.0.1 Connecting to localhost|127.0.0.1|:5865... connected.

I also suspect that the problem could lie elsewhere, but you may be able to provide a better diagnosis. Thanks!
