Sorry about that. I'm not sure if it makes sense to resurrect --non-verbose for 1.10.2 or 1.11... most people seemed to use -nv, which is still working. > Maybe it would be reasonable not to advertise depreciated option > name variations but to support them still? I tried hard to do that, but missed --non-verbose. Could you please point out where the option is advertised? > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Applications > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Networking/WWW Are these categories standardized anywhere?

I'm thinking of something along the lines of: # By default Wget uses "passive FTP" transfer where the client # initiates the data connection to the server rather than the other # way around. That is required on systems behind NAT where the client # computer cannot be easily reached from the Internet.
