The /home parameter is a bit strange - what is it supposed to mean?
Also, the error message indicates a local problem. Could it be that you want to save this file to /home, but it really goes to the current directory, where there is no space?
Actually, I don't think that the syntax is correct:
Code:
$ wget --help|more
GNU Wget 1.16, a non-interactive network retriever.
Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...
...
/home will be interpreted as another download URL. On my system (Raspbian), an error message "missing scheme" or so is generated - wget wants file:/home instead of /home.
Bernd, love the bit about ho ho ho and a bottle of rum
It was a comment in the HPUX initialization routine that selected one of the CPUs at the "monarch" CPU. I wonder if it's still there. About the same level as the so-called bug "you can tune a filesystem but you can't tuna fish" in the UNIX tunefs man page (sadly, that great contribution to fun in computing has been removed).
If there is enough space to accommodate 133GB file in our machine, we can try to resume the previous downloaded instance using the wget -c https://www.****.***/*****/pudgecraft.zip command.
