Bug#502685: wget: Option to retry if download rate drops below a given limit for a given time
Package: wget Version: 1.11.4-2 Severity: wishlist Some sites or networks fail in ways where a connection drops to a trickle (a few hundred or thousand bytes per second) but does not actually die; this can happen, for instance, if few or no network packets get through but no TCP disconnect occurs. Killing wget and restarting it (always using -c) fixes the problem, but requires manually babysitting the download or writing a hackish script to do so. It would help to have a wget option which monitors the download rate and treats the connection as failed if the rate drops below a given threshold for a given time (for instance, under 10Kbps for more than 5 seconds). - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages wget depends on: ii libc6 2.7-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-13 SSL shared libraries wget recommends no packages. wget suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
