Wget help

[glotz]

Hi there!

I'd like to get the ogg files from http://www.archive.org/details/ym1999-10-21.shnf with Wget, how would I go about that?

I tried reading the manual page and there was an example that looked quite similar, the one about gif files. However, it didn't work. I just got some folders and a robots.txt file. However, I did manage to wget the first ogg file by just pointing wget to the URL, so I think it can be made to work. They also offer a list view http://ia301113.us.archive.org/2/ite...999-10-21.shnf

Anybody around here with some Wget-fu got a minute?

Are you able to download the file if you do something like this:

wget -c http://ia301113.us.archive.org/2/items/ym1999-10-21.shnf/ym1999-10-21d1t01.ogg

Is that what you are looking for? The -c will allow the file to continue downloading where it left off if for some reason the connection disconnects.

Thanks for the reply. I got the one file just fine. I'd like to get them all now. Of course I could do it manually but I'm sure there's a better way for lazy people like yours truly.

I believe that the -r (recursive) option will get all the files in a directory.

Without having to write a script, you could also attach multiple files on one line:

wget -c http://ia301113.us.archive.org/2/items/ym1999-10-21.shnf/ym1999-10-21d1t01.ogg http://ia301113.us.archive.org/2/items/ym1999-10-21.shnf/ym1999-10-21d1t02.ogg

I am not for sure how many can fit into one line though.

Thanks again guys. Still not exatly what I want. I don't want the mp3 files or anything else besides the oggs. And I'd like to find out how to do it the smart way.

Are you able to access the site via ftp? I am not for sure if it will ask for a username or password. If it does not, you would be able to get the files that way. I would try it out, but I currently don't have ftp installed (currently using gentoo).

[glotz]

Well for the heck of it I tried ftp. They don't do passive mode. Don't like it otherwise.

I'm sure there's a simple wget one liner to get this simple job done. And out there's somebody who knows it.

Sorry, didn't realize there were other files in the directory. You can use the -A (or --accept) option.

wget -A ogg http://whatever/it/is

You can read more about it in the wget manual.

No worky.

wget -A ogg http://ia301113.us.archive.org/2/ite...99-10-21.shnf/
