I'm not sure if this is a bug. It would seem so from my reading of the man page.
wget version: 1.9.1
OS: Mac OS X 10.2.6 (run from tshrc shell in Darwin, not really using any part of the Mac-specific OS)
.wgetrc: none
Command line:
wget --input-file=combined_input --append-output=combined_log --wait=3 --random-wait --no-host-directories --referer="http://www.bartleby.com/107/" --user-agent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)" --convert-links
Example error:
--02:14:25-- http://www.bartleby.com/107/Images/small/image156.jpg
=> `image156.jpg'
Reusing connection to www.bartleby.com:80.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response...
02:14:35 ERROR -1: No data received.
Expected action:
Just as wget retries errors during downloading and during trying to connect, I would assume it would retry these errors. Retrying manually worked (although the hyperlink conversion did not take place since these files were not part of the larger download).
