Comment:

 This works for me:

 {{{
 $ torsocks --version
 Torsocks 2.2.0
 $ torsocks wget --spider www.torproject.org
 Spider mode enabled. Check if remote file exists.

 Resolving www.torproject.org (www.torproject.org)... 38.229.72.16
 [...]
 }}}

 My bet here is that you got an Exit relay that wasn't cooperating well. If
 you try with `-i` multiple time, do you still get the issue? (that option
 will make you use a different circuit per execution).

 If yes, next step would be to provide the output of `TORSOCKS_LOG_LEVEL=5
 torsocks ...` so we can look at the debug logs and see where it went
 wrong.
