Download utility for devs. Xdialog progress. # New version.

[brokenman]

Thought i would post about the downloader with progress bar downloading from sourceforge. To get the proper file name use:

wget --trust-server-names --no-check-certificate $url

Nice little downloader gui too

brokeman; So the new part is: --trust-server-names
It already has: --no-check-certificate

Thanks guy... I`ll add it and put it in the download. Terry B.

This don't work in Carolina, I would suspect the same for Racy and Wary too.

Code: Select all

wget: unrecognized option '--trust-server-names'

My version of wget

Code: Select all

GNU Wget 1.12, a non-interactive network retriever.

I compiled the latest wget-1.15 in Carolina using these options and now it works, might work with wary too.

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --mandir=/usr/share/man --disable-nls --disable-rpath --with-gnu-ld --with-ssl=openssl

This is the horror of maintaining a project. Thanks Geoffrey.

I`m now trying to imagine how I can setup a with/without arrangement.
