wget cheat-sheet

Hello Internet, I made you something. There seems to be a lack of a basic wget cheat-sheet. Today I got tired of referring back to the usual sources, which tend to include all possible flags, most of which I never use. Here’s a .pdf you can print and hang at your desk.

-e robots=off

-m --mirror

-r --recursive

-p --page-requisites

-k --convert-links

-l depth --level=depth (5 is maximum)

-o logfile --output-file=logfile

-i file --input-file=file

--random-wait

-nd --no-directories

-nH --no-host-directories

-E --html-extension (apends .html)

-U agent-string --user-agent=agent-string

-A acclist --accept acclist (comma-separated extensions)

-R rejlist --reject rejlist (comma-separated extensions)

-D domain-list --domains=domain-list (domains to follow)
