Hi,
I'm trying to download the whole 9.3 update tree for a friend without internet access. I'm doing it this way (mind: some very long lines):
#!/bin/bash wget --continue --timestamping --quota=1800m -r -l3 --limit-rate=90k \ --no-remove-listing -nH --cut-dirs=5 --output-file=LOGFILE \
<snip> I guess this looks like an issue with wget. I run across wierdness myself when downloading webpages both on *nix and Wintendo. Of course, I would have simply opened Konqueror and navigated to the FTP site, copied the files, then pasted locally. :)
Weird...
The problem is solved, but... why the fact that the server was adding some new files caused wget to get into a never ending loop?
