Hi,
I wont be able to stop download manually by pressing Ctrl+C.
Is there any way to stop wget after downloading fixed number of bytes (Less
than actual size) of a file without explicitly terminating download?
I thought of an alternate way, to create 0 byte file using/truncate/ and
continuing download, but that doesn't work.
If I create 1 byte file, downloading works but unzipping does not, cuz of first
byte.
_This is*not* downloading_
truncate -s0 download.zip
wget -c --header "Range:*0-100*"http://noya.co.in/download.zip
_Not even this_
wget -c --header "Range:*1-100*"http://noya.co.in/download.zip
_This is downloading_Financier
truncate -s1 download.zip
wget -c --header "Range:*1-100*"http://noya.co.in/download.zip
But in this case unzipping does not work :(
I know. I tested it.
If you know that it's a zip file you could cheat. :)
echo -n P> download.zip # We create a 1-byte file with a P. Do not place new
lines!
wget -c --header "Range:*bytes=1-100*"http://noya.co.in/download.zip # Now
this works
Thanx for the hack but the I need a generic hack.
I am trying to build an opensource application which downloads a file
partially using wget on different computers. Each computer synchronize
download status using a centralized server.
Is it WGET not downloading the file or SEVER not sending the content? If
its wget then we can fix it using a patch right ? So that it can
download partial content even if file does not exists.
