Yeah, that's really what I'm trying to do... I just want to gauge performance of a web server on a given network port... I've found the "pavuk" utility fits the bill and has many more advanced options, such as thread controlling, rate limiting, random delay between downloads, a "-dontstore" option that does what I wanted with the "-O /dev/null" and more, so I've started using that instead. I just thought I'd ask on the list to see if the behavior I was observing with wget was expected... I suppose it is. :o) Cheers
