Hi, I'm having a problem with wget trying to allocate 2GB of ram (which is way more than I have :-( ). The error message is wget: realloc: Failed to allocate 2147483648 bytes; memory exhausted.
The file is large, but I would have thought that wget didn't need to allocate memory for the file. I ran: wget --debug -r -nH --cut-dirs=1 -c -np --user=XXXXX --password=XXXX http://XXXXXX/pub-junk/movies Successful download messages deleted... ---request begin--- GET /pub-junk/movies/_watchable_quality/american_history_x.tgz HTTP/1.0 Referer: http://XXXXXX/pub-junk/movies/_watchable_quality/ Range: bytes=1152572676- User-Agent: Wget/1.10.2 Accept: */* Authorization: Basic ZGF2aWRhdXN0aW46c3BhbTQy Host: XXXXXX Connection: Keep-Alive ---request end--- HTTP request sent, awaiting response... ---response begin--- HTTP/1.0 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable Connection: close Date: Thu, 06 Apr 2006 03:41:18 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.55 (Debian) PHP/5.1.2-1 mod_perl/2.0.2 Perl/v5.8.8 Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 ---response end--- 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable The file is already fully retrieved; nothing to do. Closed fd 3 wget: realloc: Failed to allocate 2147483648 bytes; memory exhausted. Can anyone help me? Any ideas about how to debug? Please cc me in any replies as I'm not subscribed to the list.
