It's hitting the home page with:

   wget -q -T 5 --delete-after http://www.osgeo.org

Dunno. I get the same behavior with the maptools.org download server 
when it comes back to life after it has stopped responding due to 
unfriendly download accelerators, so I doubt the problem is specific to 
the Apache version that you're running.

I suspect wget gets into some kind of retry loop when the server does 
not respond despite the "-T 5" arg that should tell it to give up after 
5 seconds.

... man wget ...

I just found the "-t" option:

"""
   Set number of retries to number.  Specify 0 or inf for infinite
   retrying.  The default is to retry 20 times, with the exception of
   fatal errors like ‘‘connection refused’’ or ‘‘not found’’ (404),
   which are not retried.
"""


I'll add a "-t 1" arg to the wget command... let's see if that helps... 
or if that makes things worse.
