It looks like the logic in the wget fetcher retries once, so if it's
getting stuck then that seems like a genuine bug.

Vineeth, are you sure it's really continuously retrying? Or are you
just seeing timeouts for many fetches (which will eventually
complete)? Note that you can reduce the wget timeout by setting your
own value for "FETCHCMD_wget". See bitbake/lib/bb/fetch2/wget.py for
the default value - use that as a starting point for your
modification.
