A new release of wget, 1.15-1, is available for download, leaving 1.13.4-1 as previous. NEWS: ===== This is a new upstream release, and also my first time building it for 64-bit cygwin (the existing 64-bit build was provided by others to help bootstrap the environment). This should resolve issues reported here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-09/msg00161.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-01/msg00327.html See also the package documentation in /usr/share/doc/wget/. DESCRIPTION: ============ GNU Wget is a file retrieval utility which can use either the HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP protocols. Wget features include the ability to work in the background while you're logged out, recursive retrieval of directories, file name wildcard matching, remote file timestamp storage and comparison, use of Rest with FTP servers and Range with HTTP servers to retrieve files over slow or unstable connections, support for Proxy servers, and configurability. UPDATE: ======= To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'wget' from the 'Web' category. DOWNLOAD: ========= Note that downloads from cygwin.com aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you: http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html QUESTIONS: ========== If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin wget package maintainer CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO: ================================= To unsubscribe to the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
