Re: [9fans] Help downloading Plan B using hget

[Pietro Gagliardi]

hget is different from most other programs of its kind. It writes the file you ask for on standard output, or the computer screen. If you want to download a file, use one of the following:

        hget -o planb4e.tgz http://lsub.org/ls/export/planb4e.tgz
        hget http://lsub.org/ls/export/planb4e.tgz > planb4e.tgz

Hello, I am a newcomer to plan 9. I current have Plan9 installed on my computer, and am trying to get Plan B.

I use "hget http://lsub.org/ls/export/planb4e.tgz";
I just get a whole bunch of letters and numbers.

Also, once I have finished that, how do I save it to $home.

Is this OK, or is there a problem becouse it keeps on doing this for a very long time.
