UnitedMedia have put some kind of fetch-rate-limiting
hack on their server, which caused Dilbert and Monty to
fail somewhere towards the end of last month.

I finally spent the time to track down the problem, and
got around it by using the --wait=2 --random-wait
parameters to wget in netcomicsrc.

These should probably be made defaults for unitedmedia.

Also, their prefered URL seems to be unitedmedia.com
rather than comics.com now.
