5 ## You can use this file to change the default behaviour of wget or to
6 ## avoid having to type many many command-line options. This file does
7 ## not contain a comprehensive list of commands -- look at the manual
8 ## to find out what you can put into this file.
9 ##
10 ## Wget initialization file can reside in /usr/local/etc/wgetrc
11 ## (global, for all users) or $HOME/.wgetrc (for a single user).
12 ##
13 ## To use the settings in this file, you will have to uncomment them,
14 ## as well as change them, in most cases, as the values on the
15 ## commented-out lines are the default values (e.g. "off").

18 ##
19 ## Global settings (useful for setting up in /usr/local/etc/wgetrc).
20 ## Think well before you change them, since they may reduce wget's
21 ## functionality, and make it behave contrary to the documentation:
22 ##
23
24 # You can set retrieve quota for beginners by specifying a value
25 # optionally followed by 'K' (kilobytes) or 'M' (megabytes). The
26 # default quota is unlimited.
27 #quota = inf
28
29 # You can lower (or raise) the default number of retries when
30 # downloading a file (default is 20).
31 #tries = 20
32
33 # Lowering the maximum depth of the recursive retrieval is handy to
34 # prevent newbies from going too "deep" when they unwittingly start
35 # the recursive retrieval. The default is 5.
36 #reclevel = 5
37
38 # By default Wget uses "passive FTP" transfer where the client
39 # initiates the data connection to the server rather than the other
40 # way around. That is required on systems behind NAT where the client
41 # computer cannot be easily reached from the Internet. However, some
42 # firewalls software explicitly supports active FTP and in fact has
43 # problems supporting passive transfer. If you are in such
44 # environment, use "passive_ftp = off" to revert to active FTP.
45 #passive_ftp = off
46
47 # The "wait" command below makes Wget wait between every connection.
48 # If, instead, you want Wget to wait only between retries of failed
49 # downloads, set waitretry to maximum number of seconds to wait (Wget
50 # will use "linear backoff", waiting 1 second after the first failure
51 # on a file, 2 seconds after the second failure, etc. up to this max).
52 waitretry = 10

55 ##
56 ## Local settings (for a user to set in his $HOME/.wgetrc). It is
57 ## *highly* undesirable to put these settings in the global file, since
58 ## they are potentially dangerous to "normal" users.
59 ##
60 ## Even when setting up your own ~/.wgetrc, you should know what you
61 ## are doing before doing so.
62 ##
63
64 # Set this to on to use timestamping by default:
65 #timestamping = off
66
67 # It is a good idea to make Wget send your email address in a `From:'
68 # header with your request (so that server administrators can contact
69 # you in case of errors). Wget does *not* send `From:' by default.
70 #header = From: Your Name <username@site.domain>
71
72 # You can set up other headers, like Accept-Language. Accept-Language
73 # is *not* sent by default.
74 #header = Accept-Language: en
75
76 # You can set the default proxies for Wget to use for http and ftp.
77 # They will override the value in the environment.
78 #http_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
79 #ftp_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
80
81 # If you do not want to use proxy at all, set this to off.
82 #use_proxy = on
83
84 # You can customize the retrieval outlook. Valid options are default,
85 # binary, mega and micro.
86 #dot_style = default
87
88 # Setting this to off makes Wget not download /robots.txt. Be sure to
89 # know *exactly* what /robots.txt is and how it is used before changing
90 # the default!
91 #robots = on
92
93 # It can be useful to make Wget wait between connections. Set this to
94 # the number of seconds you want Wget to wait.
95 #wait = 0
96
97 # You can force creating directory structure, even if a single is being
98 # retrieved, by setting this to on.
99 #dirstruct = off
100
101 # You can turn on recursive retrieving by default (don't do this if
102 # you are not sure you know what it means) by setting this to on.
103 #recursive = off
104
105 # To always back up file X as X.orig before converting its links (due
106 # to -k / --convert-links / convert_links = on having been specified),
107 # set this variable to on:
108 #backup_converted = off
109
110 # To have Wget follow FTP links from HTML files by default, set this
111 # to on:
112 #follow_ftp = off
