wget options

Normally the defaults used by wget are good enough for most users, however, you may need to tweak things from time to time to get it to work the way you want it to.

Here is a partial list of some of the wget options:

wget option	Explanation
-o filename	Output messages to a log file. This was covered earlier in the chapter.
-t number	Try number times before giving up on the connection.
-c	Continue to download a partially downloaded file from a previous wget.
-S	Display the headers sent by the server.
-Q number	The quota, or total amount of bytes that will be downloaded. Number can be in bytes, kilobytes (k), or megabytes (m). Set to 0 or inf for no quota.
-l number	This specifies the maximum recursion level. The default is 5.
-m	This is good for when trying to create a mirror of a site. It is equivalent to using the -r -N -l inf --no-remove-listing options.

Another thing you may try is to turn on debugging with the -d option. Note that this will only work...
