I had it today. For some reason a nameserver (in Europe/Tallinn,
tried on different independent hosts) could not resolve these host names:

$ host www.itk.org
Nameserver not responding
www.itk.org A record not found, try again

but in US machine there was no problem. As a quick fix, I added

24.97.130.18    www.kitware.com
24.97.130.19    www.vtk.org
24.97.130.19    www.itk.org
24.97.130.19    public.kitware.com

to /etc/hosts.
