OK, I see. But I do not agree. And I don't think it is a good idea to treat the first download special.
In my opinion, exit status 0 means "everything during the whole retrieval went OK". My prefered solution would be to set the final exit status to the highest exit status of all individual downloads. Of course, retries which are triggered by "--tries" should erase the exit status of the previous attempt. A non-zero exit status does not mean "nothing went OK" but "some individual downloads failed somehow". And setting a non-zero exit status does not mean wget has to stop retrieval immediately, it is OK to continue. Again, wget's behaviour is not what the user expects. And the user has always the possibility to make combinations of --accept, --reject, --domains, etc. so in normal cases all individual downloads succeed, if he needs a exit status 0. If he does not care about exit status, there is no problem at all, of course... regards Manfred Zitat von Hrvoje Niksic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > This problem is not specific to timeouts, but to recursive download (-r). > > When downloading recursively, Wget expects some of the specified > downloads to fail and does not propagate that failure to the code that > sets the exit status.
