-----------------------------------------------------------
WGET for Windows (win32) - current version: 1.8.2
Current version is 1.8.2, compiled with MS Visual C++ 6.0 and linked with
OpenSSL 0.9.6c
"GNU Wget is a free software package for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS and FTP, the most widely-used Internet protocols. It is a non-interactive commandline tool, so it may easily be called from scripts, cron jobs, terminals without Xsupport, etc."
============================================
Usage
wget is a command line program. You start it from the command prompt, either command.com in Windows 9x/Me or cmd.exe in Windows 2000/XP. The command prompt can be found in the Start Menu (Accessories).
wget.exe must be placed in your path (e.g. c:\windows)
To retrieve a file: wget http://studwww.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/wget.exe
Basic options
Display all help: wget --help
Completely mirror a site: wget -mr http://...
-m: mirror
-r: recursive
Mirror without following links to other servers, parent directories: wget -mrnp http://...
-np: no-parent
Retrieve a html file and convert relative links to absolute ones: wget -k http://studwww.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget
-k: 'k'onvert links
Resume partially downloaded files (if supported by the server): wget -c http://...
-c: continue
Read url's from a file and retrieve them: wget -i file_with_urls.txt
-i: input-file
Ask for url's (read from stdin): wget -i -. Enter url's on the command line, press enter after each url, and terminate with ^Z (press CTRL-Z) on an empty line.
Proxy
To make wget use a proxy, you must set up an environment variable before using wget. Type this at the command prompt:
set http_proxy=proxy.myprovider.net:8080
You can use ftp_proxy to proxy ftp requests.
