Hi. I would like to ask a few questions in passing.
When I used -c and -N options concurrently, wget was aborted. I would
like to use those two options while downloading a whole web site with -r
because the web administrator might've modified some files. Are there
any profound reasons to prohibit use of -c and -N options concurrently?
no. if -c and -N do not work together, then you've found a bug. could
you please tell us which version of wget are you using and the error
messages you receive?
And, when only -c was used, if a file was modifed and wget tried to
resume the file, what happens? May the file be a corrupted file? I will
try this later. Redownloading from head looks make sense when -N was
also specified.
yes, if you use only -c you can theoretically get a corrupted file.
When I used --tries=0 for ftp site, it did not retry. I tried to
download fedora core, and I plugged out cable, then, process was still
there, but not retrying.
which version of wget were you using?
