I wish I had a file exclude option. I'm behind a firewall that doesn't allow ftp, so I have to find sites that use http for file transfer.
I'm currently trying to install cygwin on my local lan network. To do that, I;m using wget to mirror the remote site locally, as I hve a very slow transfer rate. I don't really want the sources, just the binaries. But I've got no way to say --exclude-file "*src.bz2" Another option that may make sense would be to ask wget to fetch the html files in the tree, and construct a list of the non-html files. In that way, it would be easy to edit the list, then resubmit it. as a list of things to get. Cool program. Saves much grief. Oh, yeah. mention the xy=on logging function in the man page. Very cool. -- Sherwood Botsford 1-780-848-2881 Ext 134 St. John's School of Alberta RR - 5 Stony Plain, Alberta TZ7 1X5 Alternate address [EMAIL PROTECTED] . com
