Re: [Bug-wget] Wget keeps crashing on me
Ok. I will just use the build you sent me. Its kind of a pet-peeve of mine to not use the most up-to-date version of a piece of software, and I am not so advanced in my IT skills (yet) to be able to compile my own Windows binary of wget, and I certainly don't want to compromise my system, so I will just make do. Thank you gentlemen for you assistance in this matter. -Original Message- From: Eli Zaretskii [mailto:e...@gnu.org] Sent: Sunday, May 14, 2017 11:02 PM To: William Higgs Cc: tim.rueh...@gmx.de; bug-wget@gnu.org; dar...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [Bug-wget] Wget keeps crashing on me > From: William Higgs > Cc: , > 'Jernej Simončič' > Date: Sun, 14 May 2017 21:17:02 -0400 > > Hey guys.

Makes absolutely no sense to me. LFH is the default heap allocation strategy on MS-Windows since Vista; disabling it is only justified when running a program under a debugger. Disabling LFH globally for your entire system means you risk running out of heap memory in some memory-intensive applications, utterly unrelated to wget. If that particular build of wget crashes when LFH is in use, it most probably means a subtle memory-allocation bug, which is simply swept under the carpet by changing the algorithm for heap allocation. So I would suggest to simply switch to a different build of wget, instead of compromising your entire system. > However, after looking into how to do this, I cannot find an > explanation as to how to do this.

Hey guys. So while I was doing some research, I found the following post located at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35004832/wget-exe-for-windows-10/3796296 5#37962965 : "eternallybored build will crash when you are downloading a large file.

Re: [Bug-wget] Wget keeps crashing on me
But looking at Wget's FAQ page, the source that the binary was obtained from is listed in the FAQ as a place to obtain a Windows binary of the wget. So is that no longer applicable? Do I need to use the 32 bit version instead? -Original Message- From: Tim Rühsen [mailto:tim.rueh...@gmx.de] Sent: Sunday, May 14, 2017 2:17 PM To: bug-wget@gnu.org Cc: William Higgs ; 'Darshit Shah' ; Eli Zaretskii Subject: Re: [Bug-wget] Wget keeps crashing on me On Sonntag, 14.

Hi William, just an idea... recently we fixed two issues with idn_free2() that could cause crashes.

Re: [Bug-wget] Wget keeps crashing on me
Sorry for the delayed reply. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 with family. Anyway, I will attempt to perform the suggestions mentioned below. For those who do not know, the binary that I am using I obtained using the windows equivalent of the linux "apt-get" command, a package manager called chocolatey (http://chocolatey.org). Did this for simplicity. I don't know if this helps get to the bottom of the issue, but this is url for the page containing the wget package information (https://chocolatey.org/packages/Wget). -Original Message- From: Tim Rühsen [mailto:tim.rueh...@gmx.de] Sent: Sunday, May 14, 2017 2:17 PM To: bug-wget@gnu.org Cc: William Higgs ; 'Darshit Shah' ; Eli Zaretskii Subject: Re: [Bug-wget] Wget keeps crashing on me On Sonntag, 14.

[Bug-wget] Wget keeps crashing on me
Hello Wget developers, So this may have nothing to do with wget (probably very likely, as Windows 10 creators update continues to be a very large thorn in my side), but wget keeps crashing when I run the attached bat file (converted to txt). I saved the event logs associated with the crash, but again, it looks more like an os issue than wget. Still, wanted to get your opinion on the matter. Also, thanks for the awesome, quality, free software. ÿþ= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = E v e n t T i m e : 5 / 1 3 / 2 0 1 7 9 : 4 0 : 1 1 A M . 4 4 7 R e c o r d I D : 4 2 9 4 E v e n t I D : 1 0 0 0 L e v e l : E r r o r C h a n n e l : A p p l i c a t i o n P r o v i d e r : A p p l i c a t i o n E r r o r D e s c r i p t i o n : F a u l t i n g a p p l i c a t i o n n a m e : w g e t . e x e , v e r s i o n : 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 , t i m e s t a m p : 0 x 0 0 3 c c 6 1 0 F a u l t i n g m o d u l e n a m e : n t d l l . d l l , v e r s i o n : 1 0 . 0 . 1 5 0 6 3 . 0 , t i m e s t a m p : 0 x b 7 9 b 6 d d b E x c e p t i o n c o d e : 0 x c 0 0 0 0 3 7 4 F a u l t o f f s e t : 0 x 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 f 7 7 5 f F a u l t i n g p r o c e s s i d : 0 x 3 a a 0 F a u l t i n g a p p l i c a t i o n s t a r t t i m e : 0 x 0 1 d 2 c b e c 2 b a 6 c 7 3 d F a u l t i n g a p p l i c a t i o n p a t h : C : \ P r o g r a m D a t a \ c h o c o l a t e y \ l i b \ W g e t \ t o o l s \ w g e t . e x e F a u l t i n g m o d u l e p a t h : C : \ W i n d o w s \ S Y S T E M 3 2 \ n t d l l . d l l R e p o r t I d : a 0 b 6 0 0 8 a - 3 7 5 a - 4 b 5 b - 8 6 f 3 - d 9 e 4 8 a 9 b 0 c e 0 F a u l t i n g p a c k a g e f u l l n a m e : F a u l t i n g p a c k a g e - r e l a t i v e a p p l i c a t i o n I D : O p c o d e : T a s k : A p p l i c a t i o n C r a s h i n g E v e n t s ( 1 0 0 ) K e y w o r d s : C l a s s i c P r o c e s s I D : T h r e a d I D : C o m p u t e r : l a p t o p . h i g g s w . l o c a l U s e r : = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = ÿþ= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = E v e n t T i m e : 5 / 1 3 / 2 0 1 7 1 : 0 1 : 1 4 P M . 1 3 7 R e c o r d I D : 4 3 3 4 E v e n t I D : 1 0 0 0 L e v e l : E r r o r C h a n n e l : A p p l i c a t i o n P r o v i d e r : A p p l i c a t i o n E r r o r D e s c r i p t i o n : F a u l t i n g a p p l i c a t i o n n a m e : w g e t . e x e , v e r s i o n : 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 , t i m e s t a m p : 0 x 0 0 3 c c 6 1 0 F a u l t i n g m o d u l e n a m e : n t d l l . d l l , v e r s i o n : 1 0 . 0 . 1 5 0 6 3 . 0 , t i m e s t a m p : 0 x b 7 9 b 6 d d b E x c e p t i o n c o d e : 0 x c 0 0 0 0 3 7 4 F a u l t o f f s e t : 0 x 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 f 7 7 5 f F a u l t i n g p r o c e s s i d : 0 x 3 a 2 c F a u l t i n g a p p l i c a t i o n s t a r t t i m e : 0 x 0 1 d 2 c c 0 9 8 c 9 c c 4 7 a F a u l t i n g a p p l i c a t i o n p a t h : C : \ P r o g r a m D a t a \ c h o c o l a t e y \ l i b \ W g e t \ t o o l s \ w g e t . e x e F a u l t i n g m o d u l e p a t h : C : \ W i n d o w s \ S Y S T E M 3 2 \ n t d l l . d l l R e p o r t I d : 9 f 9 b 9 7 2 9 - 7 8 e 8 - 4 5 e 1 - b b 7 2 - 4 3 d 7 4 4 a f c 1 f 5 F a u l t i n g p a c k a g e f u l l n a m e : F a u l t i n g p a c k a g e - r e l a t i v e a p p l i c a t i o n I D : O p c o d e : T a s k : A p p l i c a t i o n C r a s h i n g E v e n t s ( 1 0 0 ) K e y w o r d s : C l a s s i c P r o c e s s I D : T h r e a d I D : C o m p u t e r : l a p t o p . h i g g s w . l o c a l U s e r : = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = wget http://www.pazera-software.com/ -m -P C:\temp -A zip,exe -X files/old/ wget http://www.donationcoder.com/ -m -P C:\temp -A zip,exe
