If you are talking about the wget-parallel branch, it never became an official release. So there is no 'default' behaviour defined as such that we have to take care for. > $ wget > --input-metalink=http://www.metalinker.org/samples/dsl-3.3.iso.metalink > > Would that work for you?

Of course it works for me, but we are not talking about me :-) The main question is: what does the typical wget user expect ? I would thinks (s)he expects the download of the file described by the .metalink file. Of course a few users really want to have only the .metalink file (for testing/inspection). So there should be a possibility to do exactly that (e.g. --keep-metalink). Before making any decision/action we should wait for some other voices. > > > WDYT ? > > > > Regards, Tim
