Wget on Steroids
GNU Wget; your awesome little non-interactive network downloader.
On a bad day, this beast kicks a lot of download manager ass in my opinion. However, it might need you to pass some commandline options to reach it's full potential.
I present to you my ideal wget command:
wget --tries=0 --continue --server-response --timeout=0 --retry-connrefused --content-disposition <file-url>
You can add it as an alias to your shell profile:
alias fget="wget --tries=0 --continue --server-response --timeout=0 --retry-connrefused --content-disposition "
And get to business:
fget example.com/video.mp4
You can tailor it to suit your needs.
Make sure to check man wget
for a full list of options.
Happy downloading!
