Wget 1.12

#2 Post by Moorz »

Thank You So Much Dingo!!!!

I was actually looking for something updated to come for Wget.

You See...I have been using Puppy for some time now, And has been looking for a good Downloader that can Match IDM from Windows.

My other DMs do not work properly with rapid share and its accounts. (Could not find a JDownloader.Pet Anywhere)

For My Puppy Wget individual downloads worked perfectly.

Meanwhile, I shall be installing these at home and see how it runs.

Had one question:


How can I configure or Enable Batch Downloads from Wget?

1. Can it be done through command line( Using "-i" Option) ?
2. I read some of the commands in wget but could not make any sense of it.
3. I tried doing a batch download from a list suing the above commands but failed miserably.

Can you please guide me on How To for the below points Please?


1. I will have a list of links from Rapidshare.
2. I will need to set up my user name and Password(Which does not change) as a permanent feature of wget So i will not have to submit it for each download.
3. Need some line to to show Wget where to save my downloaded files(Can be 1 same folder always)

Thank you So much for your help and As Always for your Goodies you so willingly thrown at Us!!!!

o yeah, passing the -i switch in wget, makes wget reads from an input file containing (one address for line) all urls you can download
Moorz wrote:1. I will have a list of links from Rapidshare
as far I know, download addresses from rapidshare are created every time a download is requested, so, not being fixed, wget is not able to handle process involving

request -- obtaining link -- download

let's imagine you want set once for all, username and password of puppylinux.asia repositories (puppy - linux) you needs to create, in

/root/

an hidden file named .wgetrc

in this file you simply write:

--http-user=puppy
--http-password=linux

for further info, see here full wget manual

Wget Working OK but Cannot Save to Specific Directory

#5 Post by Moorz »

Hello Dingo...

I tried your steps and the Downloads Ran like clock work. Even when the system re-booted(Power Failure) it picked up the Downloads and jsut resumed in the background with No Input from me.

However...... The Command I used is below(Approximate I do not know it by Heart)

# wget -i file path --http-user=user --http-passwd=password -X /mnt/sda1/(Save Directory)

As you can summarize from the above comment, What I tried to do was get Wget to download rapidshare links from a File with my user name and password and Save the files to -X /mnt/sda1/Folder...

It worked flawlessley in downloading all the files, BUT saved everything to /root instead of the path i set up.

???

PS:...Just thought of something, The folder i specified in the command line was non-existent because I assumed that wget will create it for me as explained in the -X help comments.

Could you please guide me on this problem? I tried looking at all the help and could not find any command better than -X for saving the downloaded files to the Path I Choose.

Thank You Again Dingo...

very easy to do, you need to use -P switch

wget -P directory-you-want url-to-download

dir may also to be non-existent, wget will create for you

Wget - File Download Save path

#7 Post by Moorz »

Perfect...

Thank You Dingo...

I shall take a crack at this when I get home and Let you know if all goes well.

Meanwhile, Something I mentioned earlier.

*****

I put a batch download in Wget and went away, When I cam back the rxvt was not on the screen and there was nothing that showed the downloads happening. but the Download Bar clearly showed the speed and I guessed that wget was dwnloading the remaining files.

How can I get wget to come back up on display. After it is minimized or gone to sys Tray or whatever...I dont know what happened to that command screen.

PS: Pausing and Resuming in Wget is Possible? If So How can I do that through the command line.

no, it is not. wget is the backend used by pwget. but in regular situations you won't need to upgrade wget.....
