Hi Maxim, what you did wrong was using '-nc' when you wanted to use '-c' ;). From wget --help: | -nc, --no-clobber skip downloads that would download to | existing files. | -c, --continue resume getting a partially-downloaded file. And why it did work before, maybe you used '-c' and just mis-remembered the option, or you're right and it was a different tool. Who knows... Adiaŭ, Marc -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
