Tilde escaping problem
Using GNU Wget 1.9.1... I read the source code used for escaping filenames before saving them to the disk in url.c, and it doesn't seem that it will escape the tilde ever. This however isn't the problem I'm experiencing. The problem is that HTTP standards allow for a tilde in a URL, and wget escapes it (resulting in %7E) before making the HTTP request. Why is this such a problem? Well some webservers seem to hit you with a 302, replacing your %7E with a tilde. So, I see something like this happening: ~/piano$ wget http://www.pitt.edu/~deben/freebies.html --07:35:29-- http://www.pitt.edu/%7Edeben/freebies.html => `freebies.html' Resolving www.pitt.edu... 136.142.42.14 Connecting to www.pitt.edu[136.142.42.14]:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 302 Object Moved Location: http://www.pitt.edu/~deben/freebies.html [following] --07:35:29-- http://www.pitt.edu/%7Edeben/freebies.html => `freebies.html' Connecting to www.pitt.edu[136.142.42.14]:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 302 Object Moved Location: http://www.pitt.edu/~deben/freebies.html [following] --07:35:30-- http://www.pitt.edu/%7Edeben/freebies.html => `freebies.html' Connecting to www.pitt.edu[136.142.42.14]:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 302 Object Moved Location: http://www.pitt.edu/~deben/freebies.html [following] --07:35:30-- http://www.pitt.edu/%7Edeben/freebies.html => `freebies.html' [i cut this part out because it was very long and redundant] 20 redirections exceeded. ~/piano$ So, you can see what the problem is! I'd have written a patch if I had found the code responsible for escaping URLs, but I didn't have a lot of time to look at it. Thanks for your help! I hope you can fix this problem easily enough!

Well, there now should be a file called index.html in your wget directory!

Re: command prompt closes immediately after opening
Hello Jens :) Thank you :) I have to admit at the start that I understand very little of this *as of now*, but that will change with time and effort. What I tried so far is, I downloaded wget from the link you shared, then.. I created a text file, and renamed it "wget.bat" and added the text "wget http://xoomer.virgilio.it/hherold/index.html"; in the file and saved it.I then double-clicked on it and nothing happened that I could see. "Did you cd to the directory wget was unpacked to?" I'm sorry, what does "cd" mean? I looked at your site, and it sure looks more inviting :b, i'm more familiar with windows environments. I have a site www.helpusall.com and all I want to do is backup all the html and pictures on the entire site.

Re: command prompt closes immediately after opening
Thank you Nick, both my ID's are fine , and I also go by Jon. Yes, I tried using the 'command prompt' (thru XP) and it replied: " 'wget' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operatable program or batch file " aside from leaving out a comma after "program", it seems to suggest that I need to do something first, to get wget to work. Can you suggest a solution, or even better, could you suggest a url that I could learn from?

RE: --continue question
Ken, > i am suspicious that data is not being flushed when i kill wget I'm affraid, you misuse wget. The main beauty of wget that it restarts autmoatically when ftp connection is dropped. > i use perl to manage the progress of wget You do not need to do it. The only thing you should do is to check completion code. You cannot help to wget, but you can hinder it. When you restart wget, it checks whether the file on your local machine exists and gets the file size. Then it sends "RESTART" ftp command and appends the retrieved portion to the local file. If you think that the donwloaded file is not identical to the file on a remote server you should be more specific: is the length the same? what did you mean by "garbage" section? is that section has anything common with the file on the server, etc. Leonid (just another user)
wget support for large files
The wget web page at www.gnu.org has a link for the mailing list that doesn't work. So I'm emailing here. I'd like support for 64-bit file sizes in wget. wget 1.9.1 appears not to have this. Leonid Petrov appears to have added this support recently. Could his work be incorporated? Is it already present in the HEAD? When is the 2.0 (or 1.10) release scheduled? http://software.lpetrov.net/wget-LFS/ Thank you. - Chris

Is there a way I can get the benefit of wget? Of course! Don't let someone fool you! I've been using wget with excellent result on Windows 95, ME, 2000 and now XP home. You should not need Windows's "safe mode" in any case, BTW. However, wget was designed for a command-line oriented approach that might seem hard to understand to some Windows users at first. First, make sure you download the right version - I suggest: ftp://ftp.sunsite.dk/projects/wget/windows/wget-1.9.1b-complete.zip ( from Heiko's excellent site http://xoomer.virgilio.it/hherold/ ) Unpack the archive to a folder you'd like. Now, you need to write your own command-line for wget. create a new txt file, change its name to wget.bat and add the line wget http://xoomer.virgilio.it/hherold/index.html save the file and start it via double-click. wget now should download the index.html page of Heiko. If you want to write more complex wget command-lines, have a look at the included help file(s) of wget. If you like a graphical user interface, may I suggest that you have a look at my own GUI frontend to wget: http://www.jensroesner.de/wgetgui/ It gives you access to the most frequently used wget options. I really hope you will like wget! Jens -- DSL Komplett von GMX +++ Supergünstig und stressfrei einsteigen! AKTION "Kein Einrichtungspreis" nutzen: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl

Is there a way I can get the benefit of wget? absolutely, no! wget isnt designed for Window$ and will never run properly on this system. i suggest you using Download Accelerator, FlashGet or some other software. i cant see any reason to torture yourself (as proprietary OS user) w/ free software. please, forget about it! -- Nick Shaforostoff http://program.net.ua jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Now listening to: Barry White - Never Never Gonna Give You Up
