CentOS 5 :: WGet Syntax To Download Repo From Mirror
Jan 21, 2010
After reading a lot of docs, I'm still having problems using wget to download a Centos repo from a mirror. Here's my best attempt so far:
$cd /repos/centos/5.4
$wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=3 -np [URL]
Of course I get all the unwanted index files etc, but I seem to get a lot of other downloads from the mirror, not just their 5.4 directory. It's like it's following other links on the web pages. Maybe I should be using "ftp://" instead of "http://" considering it's an ftp site, but I seem to have connection problems that way.
i want install goldendict and source downloaded and i want compile it. for compile i need this packages :
Building under Linux: Make sure you have those dependency packages installed: libvorbis-dev, zlib1g-dev, libhunspell-dev, x11proto-record-dev, qt4-qmake, libqt4-dev, g++, libxtst-dev, libphonon-dev. They can be named slightly different in different distributions
I need to mirror a particular website (all the pages under that particular domain) any pages (but not whole sites) that the website links to.
How to do this
wget -r --level=inf (or some other variant) will mirror the site.
wget -r -H --level=1 will get all the links (from all domains) to the first level.
Anyone have any ideas on how I could combine these, to get the entire of the main site and one level deep into external sites. I've been banging my head against the manual all afternoon.
I'm wondering if its possible to add an external, non-Ubuntu mirror to my mirror server?
We have a few packages which need to be deployed during kickstart (Cinelerra and Eclipse plugins), and I would like to put them into my mirror repo so they are grabbed during kickstart, rather than manually adding them after the system is up.
I just changed repos back to a standard CentOS base repo due to the custom one I was using needing https, and due to a proxy issue, only have http.When I run yum update, it finds that the path for the mirrors is off slightly giving me 404 errors.
I am thinking about setting up a local Debian Repository mirror. I want it to mirror just the Debian Repo at [URL].. Anyone have any idea how much disk space I might need to do it?
How do you download a whole distribution at once from an ftp mirror? Ive never used ftp to DL more than 1 file at a time from konsole I tried mget, get as well as using wild cards like this get /slackware/*/*/*/*. Ive been looking for how to's but can't find any that deal with what I'm looking for. I know there is probably a simple solution but I can't find it.
A friend recently introduced me to linux and I've experimented with a few different distros and now have 2 working puppies; 1 system i slapped together from misc. parts lying around and the other is my netbook which boots to puppy via USB. I have had to play around with formatting using gparted.
I very recently acquired a server unit with a pentium II 200Mhz and I would like to LEARN linux. Thru careful research I have figured out that Slack is the best OS for those who want to learn the in's and out's. I guess my question would be which slackware distro would be best for this somewhat older system? ...And where can I find a mirror to download the iso?
I'm doing this wget script called wget-images, which should download images from a website. It looks like this now:
wget -e robots=off -r -l1 --no-parent -A.jpg
The thing is, in the terminal when i put ./wget-images www.randomwebsite.com, it says
wget: missing URL
I know it works if I put url in the text file and then run it, but how can I make it work without adding any urls into the text file? I want to put link in the command line and make it understand that I want pictures of that certain link that I just wrote as a parameter.
i use this code to download :wget -m -k -H URL... but if some file cant be download , it will retry Again and again ，so how to skip this file and download other files ,
I'm trying to download a set of files with wget, and I only want the files and paths "downwards" from a URL, that is, no other files or paths. Here is the comand I have been using
Code: wget -r -np --directory-prefix=Publisher http://xuups.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/modules/publisher There is a local path called 'Publisher'. The wget works okay, downloads all the files I need into the /Publisher path, and then it starts loading files from other paths. If you see [URL]..svn/trunk/modules/publisher , I only want those files, plus the paths and files beneath that URL.
I would like to use wget to downlaod file from Redhat linux to my windows desktop , I tried some parameter but still not work , can advise if wget can do download file from linux server to windows desktop ? if yes , can advise how to do it ?
I have a link to a pdf file, and I want to use wget (or python) to download the file. If I type the address into Firefox, a dialog box pops up asking if I want to open or save the pdf file. If I give the same address to wget, I receive a 404 error. The wget result is below. Can anyone suggest how to use wget to save this file?
Can I download a Linux iso image from a Windows mirror? I don't see any problems, but my IT guy tells me that it just can't happen because a Linux download server uses a different protocol. But, I could be wrong...
I'm trying to download two sites for inclusion on a CD:URL...The problem I'm having is that these are both wikis. So when downloading with e.g.:wget -r -k -np -nv -R jpg,jpeg, gif,png, tif URL..Does somebody know a way to get around this?
Let's say there's an url. This location has directory listing enabled, therefore I can do this: wget -r -np [URL] To download all its contents with all the files and subfolders and their files. Now, what should I do if I want to repeat this process again, a month later, and I don't want to download everything again, only add new/changed files?
I want to try to download an image of the earth with wget located at [URL] which is refreshed every 3 hours and set is as a wallpaper (for whom is interested details here). Wen I fetch the file with Code: wget -r -N [URL] the jpeg is only 37 bytes and of course too small and not readable.
I'm trying to download all the data under this directory, using wget: [URL] I would like to achieve this using wget, and from what I've read it should be possible using the --recursive flag. Unfortunately, I've had no luck so far. The only files that get downloaded are robots.txt and index.html (which doesn't actually exist on the server), but wget does not follow any of the links on the directory list. The code I've been using is: Code: wget -r *ttp://gd2.mlb.***/components/game/mlb/year_2010/
Is it possible to configure yum so that it will download packages from repos using wget?Sometimes in some repos yum will give up and terminate for "no more mirrors to retry". But when use "wget -c" to download that file, it will be successful
I had set two 700MB links for download in firefox 3.6.3 by browser itself. Both of them hung at 84%.I trust wget so much.Here the problem is : when we click on download button in firefox then it says save file & when download has begun then i can right click in downloads window & select copy download link to find that link was Kum.DvDRip.aviif i knew that earlier like in case of hotfile server there is no script associated with download button just it points to avi URL so I can copy it easily. read 'wget --load-cookies cookies_file -i URL -o log'I have free account (NOT premium) on sharing server so all I get is html page .
Is there a way for wget not to download a file but rather just access it? I use it to access a URL that triggers a process on a web server, but the actual HTML file at that location doesn't need to be downloaded and saved. I couldn't find anything in wget's help to show if there's a way to do this. Could anyone suggest a way of doing this?
Some site will have the location listed, or some mirrors are hosted educational institutions so you can easily identify the location of those mirrors. However How can I determine the location of an unknown mirror? Like for example, say I want to download a DVD install iso of CentOS. I look a the download mirrors and I see list of [URL]. Now from looking at that list how can I tell which one is closest to my location?
For some reason it seems to be downloading too much and taking forever for a small website. It seems that it was following alot of the external links that page linked to.
It downloaded too little. How much depth I should use with -r? I just want to download a bunch of recipes for offline viewing while staying at a Greek mountain village. Also I don't want to be a prick and keep experimenting on people's webpages.
