sourceforge.net download problems

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It used to be we could use a browser and download things from 
sourceforge.net and lynx even worked.  That's not the case any longer.  
All that happens now is you get 10 redirects and get thrown off the page.  
What does work though, is to copy the sourceforge.net url from what would 
be where the file was going to be pulled from and drop back to the local 
box and run wget -b and paste the url in.  Apparently wget is able to get 
these files and the bonus is the file names aren't mutilated as they are 
when a browser is used to download them from sourceforge.net.
