[Bug-wget] GNU wget 1.13.4 released
Hello, I am pleased to announce the new version of GNU wget. It fixes some bugs reported in the recent wget 1.13.3 release. It is available for download here: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.13.4.tar.gz ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.13.4.tar.xz and the GPG detached signatures using the key C03363F4: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.13.4.tar.gz.sig ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.13.4.tar.xz.sig To reduce load on the main server, you can use this redirector service which automatically redirects you to a mirror: http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/wget/wget-1.13.4.tar.gz http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/wget/wget-1.13.4.tar.xz * Noteworthy changes in Wget 1.13.4 ** Now --version and --help work again. ** Fix a build error on solaris 10 sparc. ** Now --timestamping and --continue work well together. ** Return a network failure when FTP downloads fail and --timestamping is specified. Please report any problem you may experience to the bug-wget@gnu.org mailing list. Have fun! Giuseppe
Re: [Bug-wget] GNU wget 1.13.4 released
I'm not a programmer, but have enjoyed _using_ wget for many years. The latest Windows binary that I find posted is 1.11.4 of several years ago. Would someone please post a current one? (One of the links to Windows binaries yields a 404 error.) Alternatively, would someone please post [a link to, or put it in the documentation] a recipe (manual script) for a non-programmer to compile a Windows binary for himself using a readily-available, inexpensive (free?) compiler? I have done some Visual Basic and VBA programming and am familiar with the VB IDE and VBA used for Microsoft Office macros.

Re: [Bug-wget] GNU wget 1.13.4 released
I haven't done it yet, but, if it works like the earlier versions: Put the following files in some convenient folder that is in the PATH, e.g. C:\windows\system32\ wget.exe ssleay32.dll libeay32.dll msvcr71.dll msvcr80.dll You may not need the bottom two files. They may already be there. I've never used .wgetrc. I've always just put wget.exe in a batch file with the switches I want. I have a template batch file that contains all my default switches, and a whole bunch of comment (help) lines listing the switches I frequently use. But I presume that one writes a .wgetrc file and places it in the same place as the other files.
