wget is wonderfully useful. Thank you for your efforts! Try this:
wget -SO - --limit-rate=17 jasonwoof.com/downloads/tiny.txt When I do that the output is obliterated by the progress bar (which is also messed up.) It looks something like this: 0% [ ] 0 --.-K/s T 68% [=========> ] 17 16.9B/s e 100%[================>] 25 17.0B/s in 1.5s When I pipe the output to a pager, the pager gets messed up by the progress meter going (I presume) to stderr. I was able to get rid of the progress meter with the -q switch, but was quite annoyed to find that the -q switch makes the -S switch stop working. I eventually found the --save-headers switch, which enabled me to get what I wanted: wget -O - --save-headers -q jasonwoof.com/downloads/tiny.txt So, perhaps some alteration of the man page is in order. Here are my suggestions: 1) make the -S switch output the headers even if -q or -nv are specified. 2) in the -S section of the man page add "see also: --save-headers" 3) add support for turning off the progress bar with --progress=none 4) perhaps disable the progress bar if -O - is specified Best regards, - Jason ---- PGP signature attached.
