I'm running wget --recursive --no-parent --adjust-extension --convert-links --page-requisites --restrict-file-names=windows --keep-session-cookies --load-cookies cookies.txt http://DOMAIN/private/ and it correctly downloads the private/index.html file.
I inspected this file and it is the correct page shown only with successful authentication. It contains markup like:
<ul><li><a class="CP___PAGEID_56400" href="http://DOMAIN/private/page1.html">My private page</a></li>...
However, after fetching all the resources (images etc.) it seems to think it's finished and shuts down after 'converting links'.
If I skip --no-parent it keeps going. So is the --no-parent flag somehow confusing wget as to subpages?
Finally realized that wget is obeying robots.txt! I changed my command to wget -e robots=off --wait 0.25 --recursive --no-parent ... and got it working. I added the --wait 0.25 since I didn't want to clobber the server either.

I used
wget -mirror --convert-links http://example.com/ 2>&1 | tee -a wget.log
to download a website. It turns out that only some of the links were converted. How can I have all of the links converted, even after the download? I do not want to download all of the contents again.
Firstly, please be aware that --convert-links does it job after everything was downloaded so if you are inspecting certain downloaded file before wget finished working you might see unconverted list.
I do not want to download all of the contents again.
then you should use --no-clobber, but according to man page --mirror is equivalent to -r -N -l inf --no-remove-listing and --no-clobber and -N are mutually exclusive, therefore you must not use --mirror but parts of it excluding -N taking this is account your command should look following way
wget -r --no-clobber -l inf --no-remove-listing --convert-links http://example.com/
I'm trying to semi mirror a site. What I want is to download all of the MP3s and make sure I'm not redownloading those that I already have (hence the "mirror" part). I've typed in the following:
wget -m -nd -e robots=off --random-wait -A "*.mp3" -P FOLDER http://www.example.com/
And it downloads all the MP3s on the Current Page. It never follows the links to the "Next Page" or the likes. I've replaced the -m with -N -c -r without success. What other options can I use?
Try:
wget ‐‐execute robots=off ‐‐recursive ‐‐accept mp3,MP3 --random-wait ‐‐no-parent ‐‐continue ‐‐no-clobber //site.com/
I've been using wget spider to collect all of a website's links, but it will not return the paths to scripts. Is there any way to do this? My current wget request:
wget --spider --recursive --no-verbose --output-file=wget.txt https://www.example.com
Add the -p or --page-requisites option. That will download all the extra assets.
I try to download this site, with this code:
wget -r -l1 -H -t1 -nd -N -np -A.mp3 -erobots=off tenshi.spb.ru/anime-ost/
But I only get the index and enter inside the first folder, not the subfolder, help me?
I use this command to download sites including their subfolders:
wget --mirror -p --convert-links -P . [site address]
A little explanation:
--mirror is a shortcut for -N -r -l inf --no-remove-listing.
--convert-links makes links in downloaded HTML or CSS point to local files
-p allows you to get all images, etc. needed to display HTML pages
-P specifies the next argument is the directory the files will be saved to
I found the command at:
http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/09/the-ultimate-wget-download-guide-with-15-awesome-examples/
You use -l 1 also known as --level=1 which limits recursion to one level. Set that to a higher level to download more pages. BTW, I like long options like --level because its easier to see what you are doing without going back to man pages.
I'm trying to download all of the pdfs and ppts from this website: http://mlss2011.comp.nus.edu.sg/index.php?n=Site.Slides
I do in Cygwin:
wget --no-parent -A.pdf,.pptx -r -l1 http://mlss2011.comp.nus.edu.sg/index.php?n=Site.Slides
but no files are downloaded.
What do I need to change in the above wget command for this to work?
needed to use the -e robots=off code, so this worked
wget -e robots=off -A.pdf,.pptx -r -l1 http://mlss2011.comp.nus.edu.sg/index.php?n=Site.Slides
Also in general, use the --debug flag for more help.
