Easily mirror http/ftp sites to your local hard drive
+ s1 B0 h# i3 A
I searched for some time for a utility that would let me mirror a remote http site to my hard drive with Windows 95. While there are several utilities to do this, I couldn't find any that I liked. Specifically, I wanted to be able to do it from the command line so that I could call it from a script, and I wanted duplicate files on my local drive for subsequent processing by another application. When I found wget for the unix environment, I decided to port it to Windows.

The most recent version I compiled is wgetwin-1_5_3_1-binary.zip. Version 1.5.3 of wget compiles cleanly for windows. To compile it yourself, you will also need to get wget-1.5.3.tar.gz. This 1.5.3.1 includes some additional changes to allow downloading of URLs that have '?' or '*' in their name. This compile was created on July 1, 1999.

Lachlan Cranswick has created a compilation of many wget pages, and some good tips for getting wget working well at http://www.dl.ac.uk/CCP/CCP14/mirror/wget.htm . He actually mirrors all the sites there as well, and he's on the European side of the atlantic.

: z& e( A: Q# ~) j1 ^) L2 G* KPlease don't email me for wget support. Although I've compiled it, I'm only a novice user of it. There is a wget mailing list. It is archived at http://fly.cc.fer.hr/archive/wget. To subscribe to it, send email to wget-subscribe@sunsite.auc.dk with the word subscribe as the subject.
