Re: [BUG] assert test msecs
I have run across this problem too. It is because with Linux 2.4.18 (and other versions??) in certain circumstances, gettimeofday() is broken and will jump backwards. See http://kt.zork.net/kernel-traffic/kt20020708_174.html#1. Is there any particular reason for this assert? If there is, maybe: if (msecs 0) msecs = 0; would be more suitable. Seems like this is only used to calculate a rate to display on the screen. Maybe we should just accept Linux's opinion that time is going backwards. Eventually it should go forwards again. :-) Cheers, Colin
-r -R.exe downloads exe file
Hi! With wget 1.9-beta, wget will download .exe files although they should be rejected (-r -R.exe). After the download, wget removes the local file. I understand that html files are downloaded even if -R.html,.htm is specified as the links that may be included in them have to be parsed. However, I think, this makes no sense for .exe files and wanted to ask if this behaviour of wget maybe could get reconsidered. Kind regards Jens
Wget bug: 32 bit int for bytes downloaded.
It seems wget uses a 32 bit integer for the bytes downloaded: [...] FINISHED --17:11:26-- Downloaded: 1,047,520,341 bytes in 5830 files cave /home/suse8.0# du -s 5230588 . cave /home/suse8.0# As it's a once per download variable I'd say it's not that performance critical... Roger.
