All righty. Say I have a list of some stuff on an http server that I want to get, with a limited number of download slots, and the server admin likes to ban people that try to reconnect faster than once a minute.
To do this, I can execute: "wget -i download_list.txt -w 60"
The problem, however, is that this also waits 60 seconds after every file, not just when it can't get a slot. This means that it takes an incredibly long time to download just a few files, since while it's waiting, someone takes my spot :p
Anyone know how to get wget to do what I'm looking for, or, if it can't, is there another download app that can?
