Hi all,
i use wget to download a complete directory from a ftp server and want
to download new files every day.
I use a command like
wget --continue ftp://someserver/somedirectory/*.ZIP
It seems like wget tries to resume files, even if they are already
finished. I sniffed the generated network traffic and found something
like this:
SIZE XXXX.ZIP
213 872953
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (....).
REST 872953
504 Reply marker must be 0.
RETR XXXX.ZIP
I think wget should not do the REST command because the retrieved size
equals the size of the already downloaded file. So the resuming download
would download only the remaining 0 bytes which does not make much
sense. On servers which do not support resume this will cause the whole
file being downloaded again.
I used wget version 1.12
Best regards
Eike
