I'm very interesting in a extension of Wget that is able to download via the

The idea is to download pieces of the incoming .part from a remote site using
ftp protocol or http protocols.
To do this wget should continuously read the .met file related to a
specific .part file (for example every 5-10 minutes). The .met file contains
the information about the pieces (parts) of .part file that eMule is
downloading. Knowing these information Wget can fetches the appropriates part
of the .part file using the FTP/HTTP protocol (it pass through all firewall),
and than reassemble them in a locally .part file. When the pear to pear
program eMule completes the download from the remote pear, at the same time
Wget completes the reassemble process on the local computer.
Do anybody think this feature make sense in wget ?
*** Hi all.
IMO this feature should NOT be part of wget functionality. I would like to
have wget only FTP/HTTP downloader (with the most features of FTP and HTTP
like authentications etc), but not functions specific for some other
protocols.
You can do the requested functionality in shell script and linux basic
utilities like diff, sed/grep, dd etc.
actually, we are redesigning wget to support new protocols via plug-ins.
we probably won't go so far to make wget a P2P client, but to the very
least we plan to support webdav.
