HI Marv You can find pre-built versions of wget for Windows on this Web site 32bit https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/1.21.4/32/wget.exe And 64 bit https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/1.21.4/64/wget.exe You just download the exe required for your system. How to tell if your Windows installation is 32bit or 64bit https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/32-bit-and-64-bit-windows-frequently-asked-questions-c6ca9541-8dce-4d48-0415-94a3faa2e13d ... then manually copy to a folder in your computer, and then place that folder in your "path" (the path is a listing of folder locations that Windows uses to look for exe files) (I personally use c:\utils and place all command line utilities there). --- >From the command prompt: MD C:\Utils Copy %userprofile%\downloads\wget.exe c:\utils --- Here is a tutorial on how to the add that folder you ju St created to the system path https://www.architectryan.com/2018/03/17/add-to-the-path-on-windows-10/ You can then run wget from the command prompt from any directory or folder just by calling it with 'wget' Eg to get a listing of all options available wget - -help Others will be able to guide you after that.

Because even though they may be the same page in reality, and the server may even redirect the latter to the former, wget would see the final extensions as a file, and the preceding /mirrors/mozilla/ as the actual dir, and so would happily spider anything provided that it begins /mirrors/mozilla. The final slash makes a big difference! Thanks Micah. I think you've hit the nail in the head. :) Thanks so much for your time and response, and the info wrt the current maintainer. Best regards!

My Niwt project has the specific aims to be as hackable and behavior-changeable as possible, Then I say both serve specific purposes... ie ´classic wget´ is more easily portable (win32, os2, you-name-it), while next-gen wget would be unix-linux oriented. Why not just bump the version and let´s keep ´classic´ wget and ´wget 2.0´ in parallel?. If ´classic´ wget rots someone else will come along and continue enhancing it to support new protocols etc (spdy anyone?) because he needs a current tool for his non-unix based OS... FC
[Bug-wget] Can someone please help with wget log-in ? apparently I'm missing some Javascript?
There is this site that has some files available for download. http://ginga.lavid.ufpb.br/projects/openginga/files For testing use user:bugmenot password:please I am trying to automatize the download of one of the files via wget. I' m using keep-session cookies along with --load-cookies and --save-cookies before each request, yet what I'm getting back is always the log-in form. I think if you look at the source (log-in form) there' s a session token there, apparently handled via Javascript. Just to make sure the web server is not discriminating against wget, I also used --user-agent matching that of Firefox 13 for Linux. Here' s my script, and you'll see quickly that it doesn't work:. / #!/bin/bash # User-agent: for FF13 is Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0 # # get the log-in screen wget --unlink --user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0 --load-cookies=cookies.txt --save-cookies=cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --http-user=bugmenot -http-passwd=please http://ginga.lavid.ufpb.br/login?back_url=http%3A%2F%2Fginga.lavid.ufpb.br%2Fprojects%2Fopenginga%2Ffiles # # post user and password wget --unlink --user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0 --load-cookies=cookies.txt --save-cookies=cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --http-user=bugmenot -http-passwd=please --http-post http://ginga.lavid.ufpb.br/login?back_url=http%3A%2F%2Fginga.lavid.ufpb.br%2Fprojects%2Fopenginga%2Ffiles; --post-date=username=bugmenotpassword=please --referer=http://ginga.lavid.ufpb.br/login?back_url=http%3A%2F%2Fginga.lavid.ufpb.br%2Fprojects%2Fopenginga%2Ffiles; # # now I should have the log-in credentials, get the files list (just in case) # wget --unlink --user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0 --load-cookies=cookies.txt --save-cookies=cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --http-user=bugmenot -http-passwd=please http://ginga.lavid.ufpb.br/projects/openginga/files; # # now get the file I want # wget --unlink --user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0 -c --load-cookies=cookies.txt --save-cookies=cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies http://ginga.lavid.ufpb.br/attachments/download/475/deps-openginga-source-v0.4.3.tar.gz; --output-document=deps-openginga-source-v0.4.3.tar.gz Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

2011/11/29 Andrew Daviel ad...@triumf.ca: but I became recently aware of download accelerators designed primarily to thwart bandwidth allocation/throttling.

Remove anything between and , then unescape the entities. That should give you quite clean text with a minimal effort. Use grep, and sed.
