Is this _really_ a problem, or are you only afraid that it might be a problem? 300MB is not a large file. 2GB (or, sometimes, 4GB) is a large file. The latest released wget version (1.10.2) should work with large files on systems which support large files. > Do wget has the feature of buffer where it is holding the stream, if it there > then by increasing or specifying th buffer limit, i think we can overcome the > issue. Wget writes the data to a file. If you have the disk space, it should work. People often use wget to download CD and DVD image files. Some older wget versions (without large-file support) had some problems with files bigger than 2GB (or 4GB, depending on the OS), but not version 1.10.2. Some _servers_ have problems with large files, but those are not wget problems. As usual, it would help to know which version of wget you're using, on which host system type you're using it, and the OS version there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.
