wget help

can wget be used to download specific files from a web site?

for example:

wget -r http://www.someweb.com

can it download for example jpg files ONLY or MP3 files ONLY without downloading the html files?

thanks so much,
regards IAN

Wget have a reject option to NOT download certain files, like this

wget -m -L --reject=exe http://site.com/directory

So maybe you could tell it to reject all file extentions apart from files with image extentions.
(like --reject=html --reject=exe)

I have never done this so it's only an idea, i don't have a clue if it will work or not.

If you know the dir in which they reside;



Will provide you with all the jpg files.

I have to ask though, this isn't for some nefarious purpose, is it?

is there a way to use wget to download on a rapidshare website
see http://rapidshare.de ?
thanks

I'm starting to get a bad feeling about this line of questioning.

i want to use wget to download files from rapidshare so that it can run on shell and it wont be bothering me when i am working on a 32bit mode.

thanks

you could probably put it in a shell script and have the shell script run every whatever. but you'd have to know before hand what the url / exactly location is before you could set it up.
is this something you're hosting yourself or...?

can u use wget to download the name of files after a certain date

I only want a list of new web page in the last week let us say


wget newbie

there are some links that the wget doesn't know how to open it depends how the href is written, somebody know a patch file or different download manager that knows better hot to manage href= links?

I wrote a shell script to do this for rapidshare.com here. Downloading content from Rapidshare.com using wget and bash Hope it helps

Hello Guys,

see you want to download MP3 or jpg file .
you just go to any mp3 site if there is download links is there you go there
and right click & then clink on copy link location.
Go to linux console mode give command "wget -nd (after that with the mouse you right click it wiil paste links ) then enter it will download files.
You want to use mouse in console please start service gpm.
