Hi Mike and all,
I find ProZilla faster and much better than wget...

I'd like to get the DVD .iso image of Sled10, problem is the amount of time the dl will take using a standard web browser. Is there someway that I can the .iso image using wget? I have my Activation Code already, I really just need an easy method of getting the image in chunks.
If you have a link to the image, open a shell, create a working directory, cd into it and issue: 'wget ftp://domain.ext/path/to/image.iso' (no quotes) When you need to suspend, say, to shutdown or go offline, 'Ctl+C' (no quotes) will kill wget. The next time you're online, open a shell, cd to the same directory and issue 'wget -c ftp://domain.ext/path/to/image.iso' (no quotes) The '-c' flag will cause wget to "continue" where it left off. I'm not understanding the significance of the Activation Code. Is it used like a password to gain access to the image? If you read "man wget" and/or "wget --help" and/or "info wget" you'll see there's a way to pass a username and password via commandline so wget can log in, first. hth & regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This is actually the problem. The path to the .iso seems to be passed to the downloader by a java script, hence I couldn't do the down and easy route. :/

You don't actually need the activation code to get the file, but you get the activation code before you get the file. It's required at install time iirc.

Send the link directly to me, if you want.

That's what I thought. Thanks for the clarification! Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This can be accomplished easily enough in FireFox. What is required is to get the "properties" of the download. I accomplished this by pausing the file transfer, right clicking on it (specifically in my case the dl progress indicator bar), and selecting properties. The top line is the URL-source for the download including file name, which can be copied (according to Carl, I skipped this part) and pasted into a shell script.

Here's the actual command line: with *** covering Novell user name and password: wget -c --http-user=******** --http-password=******** http://xlfiles.novell.com/prot/N1YveG_t53Y~/SLED-10-x86-DVD1.iso FYI at the time of writing this, I have used this three times to get sections of the overall image, and I now have about 65% of it.

Thanks Carl,

My thanks to Carl for his help on and off the list to sort this out. I've returned this to the list, as it's now a simple way of turning long image downloads, into something more readily manageable. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
