How do I access a link with wget written in the following form?
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/abiword/abiword-2.0.11.tar.gz?use_mirror=...
Just type it after wget and it'll download the file. $ wget <the-long-url-here>
I spent hours trying things, reading man pages and looking for online help.
I don_t know enough HTML to understand what the ending on that URL means.
It's just passing an information to the server to let the server know which mirror you want to use. HTH, -- - E - on SUSE 9.1 | blackbox 0.70b2 | Panasonic CF-L1 Buffalo WLI-PCM-L11GP | copperwalls was here ;) "Look! I am making all things new." - Revelation 21:5
