If you want, you can also make the wget command display additional information related to the download process. This information is useful for debugging purposes if the tool isn't working properly. The feature can be accessed using the --debug or -d command line option.
If you want, you can also modify the download progress indicator wget displays in output. There are two types of progress indicators: bar which is default and dot.
However, if the output is not being displayed on terminal TTY then dot indicator is used as default. The --progress option lets you choose the type of indicator incase you want to override the default behavior. For example:. Moving on, depending on the size of the file you are downloading, you can also adjust the way download progress meter is displayed.
Note that the parameter you opt for binary, mega or giga usually depends on the size of the file being downloaded. Here's what the man page says about these styles:. We've just scratched the surface here as wget offers plenty of more command line options. However, the ones we've discussed here should be enough to get you started.
Do try these, and in case of any doubt or query, refer to the command's man page. This feature is only available to subscribers. Google Drive is an online storage space provided by Google. We can easily upload our files on the Internet and if it is not for our permission, other people can't download the files we upload. Since the files are uploaded by ourselves, we can also download them at any time, just log in to our Google account.
It should be noted that the free account only has a capacity of 15GB, and you need to pay if you want to get more space. Next I will enter the topic: I will record how to use the wget command in Linux to download files from Google Drive. For example, today we put the files that we want to share with others on Google Drive and we just need to write down a wget command as a shell script file, we can easily pass the lightweight shell script to others, and it was downloaded by others.
And then we need to set the sharing permission, right-click on the file you want to share and select Share. Downloading in the background. If you want to download a large file and close your connection to the server you can use the command: wget -b url Downloading Multiple Files If you want to download multiple files you can create a text file with the list of target files.
You would then run the command: wget -i filename. To do this use the --limit-rate option. Downloading in the background If you want to download in the background use the -b option.
An example of how this command will look when checking for a list of files is: wget --spider -i filename. Example: -P downloaded --convert-links This option will fix any links in the downloaded files. For example, it will change any links that refer to other files that were downloaded to local ones.
You would use this to set your user agent to make it look like you were a normal web browser and not wget. Using all these options to download a website would look like this: wget --mirror -p --convert-links -P.
Was this article helpful? Yes No. For this example assume the URL containing all the files and folders we want to download is here:. The -r flag means recursive download which will grab and follow the links and directories default max depth is 5.
Optionally yet something I find appealing is adding -nH which will remove the hostname parent directory from the save path when downloading, you will see this below.
