###### Sample Wget initialization file .wgetrc##### You can use this file to change the default behaviour of wget or to## avoid having to type many many command-line options. This file does## not contain a comprehensive list of commands -- look at the manual## to find out what you can put into this file.#### Wget initialization file can reside in /etc/wgetrc## (global, for all users) or $HOME/.wgetrc (for a single user).#### To use the settings in this file, you will have to uncomment them,## as well as change them, in most cases, as the values on the## commented-out lines are the default values (e.g. "off").#### Global settings (useful for setting up in /etc/wgetrc).## Think well before you change them, since they may reduce wget's## functionality, and make it behave contrary to the documentation:### You can set retrieve quota for beginners by specifying a value# optionally followed by 'K' (kilobytes) or 'M' (megabytes). The# default quota is unlimited.#quota = inf# You can lower (or raise) the default number of retries when# downloading a file (default is 20).#tries = 20# Lowering the maximum depth of the recursive retrieval is handy to# prevent newbies from going too "deep" when they unwittingly start# the recursive retrieval. The default is 5.#reclevel = 5# By default Wget uses "passive FTP" transfer where the client# initiates the data connection to the server rather than the other# way around. That is required on systems behind NAT where the client# computer cannot be easily reached from the Internet. However, some# firewalls software explicitly supports active FTP and in fact has# problems supporting passive transfer. If you are in such# environment, use "passive_ftp = off" to revert to active FTP.#passive_ftp = off# The "wait" command below makes Wget wait between every connection.# If, instead, you want Wget to wait only between retries of failed# downloads, set waitretry to maximum number of seconds to wait (Wget# will use "linear backoff", waiting 1 second after the first failure# on a file, 2 seconds after the second failure, etc. up to this max).#waitretry = 10#### Local settings (for a user to set in his $HOME/.wgetrc). It is## *highly* undesirable to put these settings in the global file, since## they are potentially dangerous to "normal" users.#### Even when setting up your own ~/.wgetrc, you should know what you## are doing before doing so.### Set this to on to use timestamping by default:#timestamping = off# It is a good idea to make Wget send your email address in a `From:'# header with your request (so that server administrators can contact# you in case of errors). Wget does *not* send `From:' by default.#header = From: Your Name <username@site.domain># You can set up other headers, like Accept-Language. Accept-Language# is *not* sent by default.#header = Accept-Language: en# You can set the default proxies for Wget to use for http, https, and ftp.# They will override the value in the environment.#https_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/#http_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/#ftp_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/# If you do not want to use proxy at all, set this to off.#use_proxy = on# You can customize the retrieval outlook. Valid options are default,# binary, mega and micro.#dot_style = default# Setting this to off makes Wget not download /robots.txt. Be sure to# know *exactly* what /robots.txt is and how it is used before changing# the default!#robots = on# It can be useful to make Wget wait between connections. Set this to# the number of seconds you want Wget to wait.#wait = 0# You can force creating directory structure, even if a single is being# retrieved, by setting this to on.#dirstruct = off# You can turn on recursive retrieving by default (don't do this if# you are not sure you know what it means) by setting this to on.#recursive = off# To always back up file X as X.orig before converting its links (due# to -k / --convert-links / convert_links = on having been specified),# set this variable to on:#backup_converted = off# To have Wget follow FTP links from HTML files by default, set this# to on:#follow_ftp = off# To try ipv6 addresses first:#prefer-family = IPv6# Set default IRI support state#iri = off# Force the default system encoding#locale = UTF-8# Force the default remote server encoding#remoteencoding = UTF-8
