[gentoo-user] wget won't concatenate(?)
Hi group, I tried wget'ing this on dialup: ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/releases/x86/2006.0/livecd/livecd-i686-installer-2006.0.iso Then, because I needed to use the phone, after downloading 150Megs or so, I ctrl-C'd outta there thinking I could pick up where I left off. Wrong! wget wants to start from the beginning. I gave it the -nc option and it reports 'already there, not retrieving'. What did I do wrong? I've done this before with other files and this never happened. Maybe I used a different tool, can't remember. -Maxim __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I've done this before with other files and this never happened. Maybe I used a different tool, can't remember. From man wget: --- -nc --no-clobber (snip) When running Wget without -N, -nc, or -r, downloading the same file in the same directory will result in the original copy of file being preserved and the second copy being named file.1. If that file is downloaded yet again, the third copy will be named file.2, and so on. When -nc is specified, this behavior is suppressed, and Wget will refuse to download newer copies of file. Therefore, ``no-clobber'' is actually a misnomer in this mode---it's not clobbering that's prevented (as the numeric suffixes were already preventing clobbering), but rather the multiple version saving that's prevented. -c --continue Continue getting a partially-downloaded file. This is useful when you want to finish up a download started by a previous instance of Wget, or by another program. For instance: wget -c ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/ls-lR.Z If there is a file named ls-lR.Z in the current directory, Wget will assume that it is the first portion of the remote file, and will ask the server to continue the retrieval from an offset equal to the length of the local file. --- Simply try: wget -c ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/releases/x86/2006.0/livecd/livecd-i686-installer-2006.0.iso; And be happy... -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?

Sorry you had to descend Olympus to deal with such a trifle. In my defense I can only say I was overcome with an excess of zeal to advance the gentoo project and...aren't -nc and -c out of order? -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list __ Do You Yahoo!?
