wgrab is a very simple wget clone, using the ptypes library for cross compilation on Linux and Windows, as well as possibly other architectures and OS' supported by ptypes.
wgrab --help output:
wgrab version 1.1.3 by Elden Armbrust
Usage: ./wgrab <address> [OPTIONS]...
- Examples
- ./wgrab www.somesite.com #download the main index.html at www.somesite.com ./wgrab www.site.com/file.ext -o file.tld #downloads the file file.ext to local file file.tld
- OPTIONS
- -h, --help Displays this help screen.
-o, --outfile <file> Writes output to <file> rather than the name on the server.
-p, --port <port> Specify a nonstandard port to connect to on the server.
-t, --timeout <time> Specifies the timeout (in milliseconds) to wait
for data before terminating. -i, --ignore-errors wgrab will ignore errors when attempting to download. -r, --rfc-version Specifies which http version to use, such as 1.0 or 1.1,
to format the request from the server. (EXPERIMENTAL) -q, --quiet Supresses output to the console for use in other processes.
<file> can be any file that is writable for you, otherwise the program will terminate and be generally very unhappy. <port> can be any standard port, but if you specify an incorrect port, it will currently just hang wgrab (indefinitely as far as I know...) <timeout> specifies how long to wait after connecting and between recvs before determining that the connection has failed or become otherwise dumb. rfc-versions: common versions are 1.0 and 1.1. wgrab defaults to 1.0
Please feel free to email me with suggestions or comments. I'm always looking for ways to keep and make wgrab smaller, so if you find a way, please let me know! Thanks.
For installation instructions and more verbose requirements, read the included INSTALL file.

Would you like to include wgrab with your project or linux distribution? No sweat! Just drop me a line and I'll happily say yes.
