[Bug-wget] wget for windows - current build?

2016-09-30 Thread ge...@mweb.co.za
Hi guys, I just checked, I believe the version of wget I am running is from 2003 (and I have been using it for much mich longer than that ...) At some point I even wrote scripts around wget batch jobs I used to run ... But I am kind of stuck in Windows. And things happen on a different time

Interesting - forcing a user agent string could be in violation of GDPR since it would definitely make the user environments more identifiable. The "fingerprinting" discussion refers. On the other hand, if all browsers henceforth were to send the same string the opposite would be true. I

Hi, not being a wget fundi - there are lots out here that are better with this - I have a different suspicion: if you have wget installed in what I suspect is c:\windows\system32\ and you run your command from that directory then wget will try to place the downloaded files in that directory

It seems to me that in the command wget -0 install-nethunter-termux https://offs.ec/2MceZWr that is a "zero" there where the -o parameter ought to be. Sending us the help output rather than studying it and hunting for the error oneself is indeed not a very good strategy ... As for the

Hi, I see. Fascinating story. But it probably then is too late to fix that issue now (old wget, old servers, old antivirus on old router - they are all possible sources of errors.) Also, as was pointed out here by others (was it Tim?) as well as me: The continuation mechanism by its very

Hi, thanks for that link again, Fernando (I had misplaced my note on it:-) And now I wonder if anyone has ported wget2 to Windows? Thanks, Gerd - Original Message - From: "Fernando Cassia" To: "ENG WKJC" Cc: "bug-wget" Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2023 1:14:17 AM Subject: Re:

Hi, could it be that you were trying to specify an output file by using the "-o" option and by mistake entered a "-0" (dash Zero instead of dash lowercase O) ? Regards, Gerd (not one of the resident experts here ;-) - Original Message - From: "Dalingcebo Dlamini" To: "bug-wget"

Hi, I am not normally concerned with solving issues surrounding wget, but I use it a lot myself (mostly on Windows, like you) so the problem you describe intrigues me. I don't use a NAS, so I can only assume that both of yours (as well as your yet unknown next one) would use some form of
