Hi wget bug-hunter!
I've got a question because of an inaccuracy (maybe a bug) in the
manpage für "wget". For the parameter "-t / -- tries" it sais:
/"Set number of retries to number. Specify 0 or inf for infinite
retrying. [...]"/
This would mean that you cannot unset retrying for wget.
wget http://something.xyz <-------- default: 20 retries if necessary
wget -t 0 http://something.xyz <--------- infinite retrying
wget -t 1 http://something.xyz <--------- 1 REtry, so i case of a
problem, we get the first try + 1 retry = 2 tries.
Is that correct or is that a typo in the manpage so that it should be:
/"Set number of tries to number. Specify 0 or inf for infinite
retrying. [...]"/
Regards, Hauke
