Hello Steven,
Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately I did not keep a copy of my message, so that I may be
repeating it here.
Here is the program version:
$ wget -V
GNU Wget 1.10.2 (Red Hat modified)
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
... snip blah blah
Originally written by Hrvoje Niksic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
$
The OS if Fedora Core 5. The machine has an Pentium D 930 processor
(dual core) with 2GB of ECC DDR2 667MHz memory. The system has all
the updates available at this time.
I see the note by the version: "Red Hat modified", which is "scary". That
means that this is not the original release, so that RH may have introduced
a bug.
The program bails out immediately when using the -nc option and there
is a file that already exists. I believe that I sent you a transcript of
this
interaction.
The results in your transcript are the ones that I expected to get, without
the "Abort". So that at least I know that the intended semantics are what
I was expecting ( .... already there; not retrieving.) which is good news.
For completeness, here goes a new transcript of my wget runs:
My first run (I let it go for 2 minutes) is:
<1024> [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/pd/testing-wget $ wget -erobots=off -o wget.log -nH\
-r http://pure-data.cvs.sourceforge.net/pure-data/doc/tutorials/
..... wait 2 minutes ...
^C
(the "\" is for readability, only to escape the newline)
My second run adds -c -ne and without -o:
<1025> [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/pd/testing-wget $ wget -erobots=off -nH -c -r -nc

Should I post a bug in bugzilla?
Thank you for taking the time to respond.

It seems to woek for me (same commands):
[...]
File
`pure-data_cvs_sourceforge_net/pure-data/doc/tutorials/footils/index.html'
already there; not retrieving.
File
`pure-data_cvs_sourceforge_net/pure-data/doc/tutorials/intro/index.html' al
ready there; not retrieving.

I'll tell you what's less than useful, and that's a problem report
which omits significant facts, such as the program version, the system
type, the OS and version, and so on. Around here:
alp $ wget -V
GNU Wget 1.10.2c built on VMS Alpha V7.3-2.
[...]
If you're using anything other than wget 1.10.2, then I'd suggest
trying the current released version. If that fails, try complaining
again (and better).
