I've been having very mixed results with wget and curl. Most of the time, I get a 401 error (authentication failed). But, not all the time, which is making me a little crazier than usual. If you click on the "how to use a download manager" link (which doesn't _look_ like a link) below the list of files to download, it will open up a window with instructions on how to use wget: To download a single file:
* From the download site, right click the file you wish to download and select copy link location. ( URL example : http://download.novell.com/sendredirect?target=%2Fprot%2FrBCpI6NeYdo%7E% 2FSUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD1.iso&buildid=rBCpI6NeYdo~&fileid=5zkJctTtHwY~&mi rror=ProvoHost ) * Depending on the download type, a login may be required. Most file downloads will require a Novell Account but free files like the Novell Client will not. * In the terminal window enter the following substituting your Novell Account username and password and the URL you copied : * wget --http-user=username --http-pass=password 'DownloadURL' * Please note that the download URL must be wrapped in single quotes * Press enter * The file will begin to download.
