I and my team at Browserling just created the Wget Cookbook. It contains over a dozen organic, nutritious, and completely irresistible recipes for quickly getting the everyday wget tasks done.

Here are all the recipes in the Wget Cookbook:
- Don't Check the SSL Certificate (TLDR: Use
--no-check-certificate
argument) - Make Wget Silent (TLDR: Use
-q
argument) - Limit the Download Speed (TLDR: Use
--limit-rate 128k
argument) - Print the Response to Screen (TLDR: Use
-O -
argument) - Print the Response Headers (TLDR: Use
-S
argument) - Resume Interrupted Downloads (TLDR: Use
-c
argument) - Download Multiple Files (TLDR: Use
-i list.txt
argument) - Add a Referrer (TLDR: Use
--referer=URL
argument) - Use HTTP Authentication (TLDR: Use
--user
and--password
argument) - Add Custom Headers (TLDR: Use
--header
argument) - Use a Proxy (TLDR: Use
-e use_proxy=yes
argument) - Save File with a Different Name (TLDR: Use
-O filename
argument) - Use a Download Directory (TLDR: Use
-P folder
argument) - Reject Certain File Types (TLDR: Use
--reject
argument) - Download in the Background (TLDR: Use
-b
(8KB/sec) argument) - Mirror a Website (TLDR: Use
--mirror
arguments)
I'll be adding more recipes to Wget's Cookbook and will also create several more cookbooks for other technologies that I often use, such as dtrace
, netcat
, dig
, iptables
, lsof
, sed
, and awk
.
See you all then!
