 US Census appears to have changed the ftp://ftp2..census.gov url to a port
 80 http://www2.census.gov, although the relative paths remain the same.
 Since wget does not support wildcards as written, the wget options need to
 be modified.

 This is the wget as generated for state PA:
 wget http://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2013/PLACE/tl_*_42_*

 and output:
 Resolving ftp2.census.gov... 148.129.75.35,
 2610:20:2010:a09:1000:0:9481:4b23
 Connecting to ftp2.census.gov|148.129.75.35|:21... failed: Connection
 refused.

 I found this to work:
 wget -r -l1 -np "http://www2.census.gov" -P /geo/tiger/TIGER2013/PLACE -A
 "tl_*_42_*"

 This is using POSTGIS="2.1.7 r13414"
