For what it's worth, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is simply redirected to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  It is still useful to have a separate address for
bug reports, for at least two reasons.  One, the mailing list could
theoretically move to another location; and two, at some point we
might decide to stop redirecting bug reports to the public mailing
list.  Neither of these is likely to happen any time soon, as far as I
know, though.

If you are not on the distribution list, you can read the archive at

Err, I posted Qs to wget@sunsite.dk and they come via this list - is there a
mix-up here?  Perhaps why I never get any answers;)

(If there's any one else listening to this list and holding back on giving me
some fantastic bit of info that'll make my life for ever better because this is
a bug list and not a question list - please feel free to email me off-list:)

I had always understood that "bug-wget" was just an alias for the
regular wget mailing list. Has this changed recently?

Just to make sure this is received as a feature request because of (B),
it would be nice to enable wget to download parts of files
simultaneously as multiple processes. Example:
wget --option-to-multiple-download=3 file.ext
wget1 dowloads the first 1/3 of the file
wget2 downloads the second 1/3 of the file
wget3 downloads the third 1/3 of the file.

Thanks for the reply, it helped.
sincerely.

PS. As a response to (A), I sent my message to bug-wget because I wanted
this to be considered as a feature request if it wasn't already
implemented. Also, I did not see wget@sunsite.dk at
http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/index.html#mailinglists. It only lists
"bug-wget" and "wget-patches".

RE: wget question (connect multiple times)

[Tony Lewis]

A) This is the list for reporting bugs. Questions should go to
wget@sunsite.dk

B) wget does not support "multiple time simultaneously"

C) The decreased per-file download time you're seeing is (probably) because
wget is reusing its connection to the server to download the second file. It
takes some time to set up a connection to the server regardless of whether
you're downloading one byte or one gigabyte of data. For small files, the
set up time can be a significant part of the overall download time.

Hope that helps!

Tony

hi,
I hope it is okay to drop a question here.

I recently found that if wget downloads one file, my download speed will be
Y, but if wget downloads two separate files (from the same server, doesn't
matter), the download speed for each of the files will be Y (so my network
speed will go up to 2 x Y).

So my question is, can I make wget download the same file "multiple times
simultaneously"? In a way, it would run as multiple processes and download
parts of the file at the same time, speeding up the download.

Hope I could explain my question, sorry about the bad english.

Thanks

PS. Please consider this as an enhancement request if wget cannot get a file
by downloading parts of it simultaneously.
