Re: What kind of server would you recommend?

Yes. That would download just the file. But (at the risk of putting a damper on things) it's a teensy bit more complicated than that ... the shell characters that might be in URLs need to be escaped. The best way is to use single quotes, or apostrophes, to surround your URL; then any character, except the apostrophe itself of course, will pass by OK.

And wget, itself, is quite a beast. Learn it by reading its documentation. There is a man page (type "man wget" to view it, press space to scroll, press q to quit the pager). Type "wget --help" for a quick summary. "info wget" for the full documentation, or better still, just Google it and read the documentation from GNU.

In fact take this as a general recommendation to go forth and experiment and learn and read. You can't go wrong. "man" followed by a command, "info", and online help, as well as directories under /usr/share/doc, contain a whole load of useful inf ormation ...

Oh, and feel free to ask your questions. smile
