Hello I tested the following command: "wget -k -np -r -l inf -E http://dasher.wustl.edu/bio5476/"; on Fedora Core 5, using wget-1.10.2-3.2.1 I don't know if I got every file or not (since I know nothing about the link that I downloaded) but I did get the file referred to in your original post: lecture-01.pdf Here is a link to the full output of wget: http://www.afolkey2.net/wget.txt and here is the output for the file that you mentioned as an example: --19:32:16-- http://dasher.wustl.edu/bio5476/lectures/lecture-01.pdf Reusing existing connection to dasher.wustl.edu:80. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK Length: 1755327 (1.7M) [application/pdf] Saving to: `dasher.wustl.edu/bio5476/lectures/lecture-01.pdf' 1700K .......... .... 100% 462K=3.9s 19:32:20 (438 KB/s) - `dasher.wustl.edu/bio5476/lectures/lecture-01.pdf' saved [1755327/1755327] For everyone's information, I saw that the link was split into two lines just like the OP described. The difference between his experience and mine, though, was that the file with a split URL that he used as an example was downloaded just fine when I tried it. It appears that every PDF that has "lecture-" at the beginning of the name has a multi-line URL on the original index.html. On my experiment, wget downloaded 25 PDF files that had split (multi-line) URL's. This appears to be all of them that are linked to on the index.html page. Steven P.
