Obviously, that's another possibility. Also (with either one) would be nice something like --random-wait=20% wait from 80..120% of the wait time, calculated after all the commandline and wgetrc and system wgetrc have been evaluated.
Would be nice, dump random-wait = 50% in the wgetrc and all your existing scripts will benefit IF they use wait, whatever delay (!= 0) they were using before. Now let's return to our scheduld "ask for a random feature" :) Heiko -- -- PREVINET S.p.A.
