Thread: wget help


hey guys, i'm trying used using wget download files. learning purposes i'm trying download karmic-koala iso file server when download finishes image size on 1gb. command i'm using
code:
wget -c http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/karmic-alternate-amd64.iso
.
i'm pretty new @ using wget might missing option or something. can tell me i'm missing? i've searched around , far nothing.
appreciated.

in advance.

hey,

noticed using "-c". causes wget "continue" already-started download. works fine if file on server remains unchanged, if file changes on server, end garbled file (and oversized file). in words of wget man page:

...if file bigger on server because it's been
changed, opposed appended to, you'll end a
garbled file. wget has no way of verifying local file is
valid prefix of remote file.
you downloading daily build of karmic, which, of course, changes daily. suggest beginning new download , overwriting old 1 command:

code:
$ wget http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/karmic-alternate-amd64.iso
hope helps!
