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:
you downloading daily build of karmic, which, of course, changes daily. suggest beginning new download , overwriting old 1 command:...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.
hope helps!code:$ wget http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/karmic-alternate-amd64.iso
