Re: Wget difference
I suspect wget debian version has some kind of problem it doesn't happen
on slackware current either. Also, you may find using wget with the -b
switch makes life better. When wget-log or wget-log.x is created after
issuing that command with the url after the -b, you can monitor growth
of the download on your machine using wc -l wget-log or wc -l wget-log.x
and see the number of lines increase. If it stops increasing, tail -2
wget-log or tail -2 wget-log.x will show you if you have a completely
successful download.
