RE: [SLE] wget madness

What happens if you use the --mirror option of wget?

===== Original Message From Daniel Rees ===== I need to download some big files on a dial-up connection on a newly installed SuSE 7.2 system, so I want to use wget.

I cannot however seem to connect to any server - any ideas?

Example wget output:

dwr@linux:~ > wget ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/7.2/kernel/2.4.16/ k_deflt-2.4.16-22.i386.rpm --10:57:42-- ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/7.2/kernel/2.4.16/ k_deflt-2.4.16-22.i386.rpm => `k_deflt-2.4.16-22.i386.rpm' Connecting to ftp.gwdg.de:21... connected! Logging in as anonymous ... Logged in! ==> TYPE I ... done. ==> CWD linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/7.2/kernel/2.4.16 ... done.==> PORT ... done. ==> RETR k_deflt-2.4.16-22.i386.rpm ... Error in server response, closing control connection. Retrying.

The same thing happens for every server, every file I try.
