No; however you may use shell globs, see (wget)Accept/Reject Options. > 3) Multi-threading. I suppose you mean downloading several URIs in parallel. No, wget doesn't support that. Sometimes, however, one may start several wget in parallel, thanks to the shell (the & operator on Bourne shells). > Also, I have in the past encountered a difficulty with the ~ being > escaped the wrong way, has this been fixed?

AFAIK, I have never had that problem; maybe it has been fixed. > Finally, is there a way to utilize the persistent cookie file that > lynx generates to "feed" wget? There is the --load-cookies=FILE option, see (wget)HTTP Options. How to read the Info documentation: type "info wget" from a shell. The "?" key may help you. Use "gHTTP Options" to go to node "HTTP Options". Have a nice day. -- fabrice bauzac Software should be free. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-free.html
