Package: wget Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: web Installed-Size: 535 Maintainer: Nicolás Lichtmaier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 1.5.3-1.1 Depends: libc6 Conffiles: /etc/wgetrc 9d49747a4cb2175768db37dd8deea36e Description: utility to retrieve files from the WWW via HTTP and FTP Wget [formerly known as Geturl] is a freely available network utility to retrieve files from the World Wide Web using HTTP and FTP, the two most widely used Internet protocols. It works non-interactively, thus enabling work in the background, after having logged off. . The recursive retrieval of HTML pages, as well as FTP sites is supported -- you can use Wget to make mirrors of archives and home pages, or traverse the web like a WWW robot (Wget understands /robots.txt). or Package: mirror Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: net Installed-Size: 422 Maintainer: Dirk Eddelbuettel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 2.9-2 Depends: netbase, perl Recommends: mailx Conffiles: /etc/mirror/mirror.defaults 77855678b2c2577da14fc1bbb8ef1695 /etc/mirror/packages/ftp.debian.org 4af6d5ab3fd101442c2774ae7d384b7a /etc/mirror/mm/ftp.debian.org 6b7f9a72c4ca727e5ee0aa215565e6f7 Description: Perl program for keeping ftp archives up-to-date. Mirror uses the ftp protocol to duplicate a directory hierarchy between the machine it is run on and a remote host. It avoids copying files unnecessarily by comparing the file time-stamps and sizes before transferring. Amongst other things, it can optionally gzip and split files. It was written for use by archive maintainers but can be used by anyone wanting to transfer a lot of files via ftp. -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
