Hello ,
in this tutorial we will talking about controlling “wget” command in SSH like Resume download , limit the download speed , start in background and more …
Limit the Speed :
if you want to Limit the download speed to not consume the whole uplink speed :
# wget http://remoteserver.com/file.rar --limit-rate=100k
Start in Background and log out SSH :
if you download very big file and you want to log out from SSH and keep the process running , you can start it in Background :
when you run it in background it will generate a log file automatically .
# wget -b http://remoteserver.com/file.rar
Resume Download :
If you need to stop a current download, and pretend to resume it later, you should use the -c option :
# wget -c http://remoteserver.com/file.rar
Log wget output :
# wget http://remoteserver.com/file.rar -o $HOME/log.txt
and of course you can combine more than one option together like :
# wget -b http://remoteserver.com/file.rar --limit-rate=100k
the above command should start in background and limit the speed to 100Kbps
