wget Command Generator
Generate wget commands to download files
Getting Started with wget
## What is wget?
`wget` downloads files over HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP. It's non-interactive, resumable, and ideal for scripts. Give it a URL and it saves the file under its remote name.
## How to Use
1. **Enter the URL**: e.g. `https://example.com/file.zip`. 2. **Toggle Flags**: `-O` to rename, `-c` to resume, `-q` for quiet. 3. **Copy & Run**: paste the generated command into your terminal.
Flags & Patterns
``` wget https://example.com/file.zip wget -O file.zip https://example.com/download wget -c https://example.com/bigfile.iso ```
### Common flags - `-O <file>` — write to this filename - `-c` — continue a partial download - `-q` — quiet (no progress output) - `-r` — recursive download (mirror a site) - `-N` — only fetch files newer than local copies
### Tips - Use `-O` to save under a chosen name; otherwise wget uses the URL's basename. - `-c` resumes a download that was interrupted, avoiding a restart from scratch.
