need help using wget please
 

hi i was hoping someone could help me with my command using wget i use it to download from a list of urls using the command which works but for one of the urls it stalls, i dont know what its doing but its stopping the rest of the list from being downloaded fast. Is there a way to use wget and say if it takes longer then x to complete, then continue the list and skip that url? the list is changing everyday so i dont want to just remove it manually each time it happens if possible. I know it does it automatically if you wait but the wait is like 15 mins or something, is there a way to speed it up.

thanks in advance!

Use the number of retries switch -t x. With x being anything from the number 0 to the phrase inf (infinite). The default is set to 20.

works :) however 0 doesnt so i guess its only values greater then 1, which still takes about a minute and a half but its faster then waiting before :)

Is there a way to adjust the time it waits while trying?

Type man wget in a konsole to get a full list of wget options.
