wget should only use one FTP connection

If I specify a whole bunch of ftp: URLs to wget that are on the same host, it opens a new connection to the server for each one. It should reuse the same connection if they're on the same host. -- Jamie Zawinski [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jwz.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]

wget ftp url syntax is wrong

Netscape can retrieve this URL: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/updates/7.0/i386/apache-devel-1.3.14-3.i386.rpm wget cannot. wget wants it to be: ftp://ftp.redhat.com//pub/redhat/updates/7.0/i386/apache-devel-1.3.14-3.i386.rpm I believe the Netscape behavior is right and the wget

Patch: new option --ignore-size

I'm mirroring a very large tree locally. As the tree is larger than the local filesystem, I periodically stop wget, save what I've downloaded on CD-ROM, truncate the saved files to 0 and then start wget -N -r again to get more files. Unfortunately, wget checks not only the mtime but also the

Re: wget ftp url syntax is wrong

Quoting Jamie Zawinski ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): However, that said, I still think wget should do what Netscape does, because that's what everyone expects. The concept of a "default directory" in a URL is silly. The correct approach would be to try "CWD url/dir/path/" (the correct meaning) and

Quoting Chunks ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I did RTFM, and the links to any mailing list archives I could find were broken. Please accept my apologies in advance if this is something covered elsewhere. Perhaps ignoring permissions will take care of it? Could you tell us which links were actually
