My guess: You told wget only to save .mp3 files, and 0,5239,23-1-947,00.html isn't an .mp3 file. I couldn't get wget to handle it by itself either, but this will do what you want: elinks -dump http://lds.org/conference/sessions/display/0,5239,23-1-947,00.html | grep mp3 | sed 's/.*http/http/' | wget -i - Yes, that is a hyphen by itself right after the -i, don't forget it or you'll be sad. -- Joseph http://blog.josephhall.com/ /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
