Hi, > wget works for me where a web browser would work too. As I stated that this issue may not be faced by many. > Maybe too much of negative thoughts towards a shell command line ? Not negative thoughts about shell, I'm just not comfortable. It's that I cannot memorise/recall so many codes/scripts all the time, I even run down track of remembering all the alias. > Did you try options --output-document and --limit-rate ? >(See shell command "man wget", use "/bandwidth"<EnterKey> to search for the >word "bandwidth". The second hit is in the explanation of --limit-rate.) This is not with respect to wget in shell, where I agree that multiple control to heart content is available but was in reference to GUI frontend of wget i.e the download managers in linux. The control over the file being download is somewhat limited compared to over wget itself.

Did you try options --output-document and --limit-rate ? (See shell command "man wget", use "/bandwidth"<EnterKey> to search for the word "bandwidth". The second hit is in the explanation of --limit-rate.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
