HoppaLong Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 To use a very old expression, I just put the cart before the horse. Not a good idea.I created a script that runs fine. I've got FlashGet installed with 98SE, so I usedFlashGet just to test the script. However, my script is useless unless I can finda manager that supports START, PAUSE, and RESUME commands. The managermust accept commands when the monitor is powered down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drugwash Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Maybe wget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamTron Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 wget is what I use all the time on Linux, and is also available for Windows. The -c flag, which resumes a partially downloaded file, is especially useful. If you tried to download something with 'wget http://foo.bar/baz'and it failed, or you killed the process, you can simply resume the download with 'wget -c http://foo.bar/baz'.

loblo Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Curl and rtmpdump (for media streams) also support resuming partial downloads so all three are suitable candidates I guess. You'd need too kill them with your script as a substitute to pause however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoppaLong Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 When I googled "command supported" or "command line" download manager why didn'tWget appear at the top of the list? It should have.Is Wget 100% command oriented, or does it have a graphical interface? If you walkaway and the monitor powers down, you need to see something on the screen whenthe monitor powers up again. It doesn't have to be fancy, just a simple DOS or textstyle window showing the download status. A foolish question perhaps, but I'd liketo know before I download this app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drugwash Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Try WinWGet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpucollector Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) DOS ports of Lynx, WGET, CURL. Older versions though. http://www.rahul.net/dkaufman/ Edited October 24, 2015 by cpucollector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wget is not the only command line download manager and there are also GUI download managers that accept command line input, a list of similar or related files is here: http://alternativeto.net/software/wget/ jaclaz Edited October 24, 2015 by jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
