Hi,
I wonder if it is posible ot make wget reuse an open ftp connection when
you pass 2 URL as parameters and both are in the same server?
For example:
wget -c ftp://ftp.example.com/pub/file1.txt
ftp://ftp.example.com/pub/another-file.txt
will make 2 connections, 2 logins, etc.
The problem I have is that since wget does not support regex, I have to
pass
nearlly 300 parameters to wget, so the ftp I download from gets overloaded.
Not to mention that doing login/logout is a time consuming task.
i am implementing right now a connection cache mechanism which will be
included in the next release of wget.
