Hello. Got latest 1.9.1 and the download is now working.
This list gets many request for how to use wget. So, here is my
"wgetdir" command. I have used it for years and have added options to
it always when I get problems.
#!bash
wget -k --proxy=off -e robots=off --passive-ftp -q -r -l 0 -np -U Mozilla $@
Notes:
-It was recently suggested (thank you) to use
-U "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98)"
-"passive-ftp" is a must nowadays
-Robots off is also must because robots are for the search engine robots,
not for the archival robots (archival robots needs to get images, for
example)
-I'm testing "-k" because that option got unnoticed until now, I have
done a lot of manual link conversions :-(
I should add "-p" option to the above because some images are not
in the same directory tree (e.g., they are in "/images"). I don't
know how "-p" works with "-np" --- "-p" should always download
the images whether "-np" is used or not. Should the images moved
from "/images" to the current directory or to a subdirectory?
Internet Explorer does that, maybe wget should have option too.

Juhana
