All of these can be ignored. If they bother you, it's either because
you're using -w or use strict or because use strict is used in
InternetConfig.pm.

But "connection reset by peer" is serious, and there's not much you can do
as far as I know. (Let me guess, a Solaris server?) I've had the same
trouble with certain servers, I usually just give up and use Fetch or

means or what the potential causes are
