Hi Konrad,
Thanks for the quick reply :)
I managed to get around that error by doing the following:
ref = WWW::Mechanize::Page.new(URI.parse("http://www.mininova.org"), 
{'content-type'=>'text/html'})
 doc = agent.get(url_to_get, ref)

Problem is, when I sniff the package it seems that the referring url is 
ignored and it is still set to localhost:3000. I've also tried 
specifying a nil page (as I've seen in the mechanize get code itself) 
but to no avail...

Any help would be appreciated.
BTW - removing the referrer altogether would also work for, albeit it's 
a less preferred option.

Thanks!
