high!
I am currently using wget 1.6, so what I'm writing about might have been changed since 1.6. In that case, apologize, please. Consider a host foo.bar with a dynamic IP (anytime the IP is changed, the appropriate changes are also made to the corresponding DNS server immediately) If I am using wget in that way: wget -cN ftp://foo.bar/file and the IP is changed while downloading, all following retries wouldn't succeed - even if I specify multiple files from the same host on the command line. It seems that wget makes the hostname->ip conversion only once, at the start and then always tries to connect to the same IP. An additional command line option could solve the problem. Something like that: --dynamic-ip Does the hostname->ip conversion on any new try. thanks in advance. and keep the good work! c ya Sergei -------------------------------------------------------------------- eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------------------- Be careful of reading health books, you might die of a misprint. -- Mark Twain
