2 ### Sample Wget initialization file .wgetrc
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. You can find this here:
9 ## $ info wget.info 'Startup File'
11 ## https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html#Startup-File
13 ## Wget initialization file can reside in /usr/local/etc/wgetrc
14 ## (global, for all users) or $HOME/.wgetrc (for a single user).
16 ## To use the settings in this file, you will have to uncomment them,
17 ## as well as change them, in most cases, as the values on the
18 ## commented-out lines are the default values (e.g. "off").
22 ## Global settings (useful for setting up in /usr/local/etc/wgetrc).
23 ## Think well before you change them, since they may reduce wget's
24 ## functionality, and make it behave contrary to the documentation:
27 # You can set retrieve quota for beginners by specifying a value
28 # optionally followed by 'K' (kilobytes) or 'M' (megabytes). The
29 # default quota is unlimited.
32 # You can lower (or raise) the default number of retries when
33 # downloading a file (default is 20).
36 # Lowering the maximum depth of the recursive retrieval is handy to
37 # prevent newbies from going too "deep" when they unwittingly start
38 # the recursive retrieval. The default is 5.
41 # By default Wget uses "passive FTP" transfer where the client
42 # initiates the data connection to the server rather than the other
43 # way around. That is required on systems behind NAT where the client
44 # computer cannot be easily reached from the Internet. However, some
45 # firewalls software explicitly supports active FTP and in fact has
46 # problems supporting passive transfer. If you are in such
47 # environment, use "passive_ftp = off" to revert to active FTP.
50 # The "wait" command below makes Wget wait between every connection.
51 # If, instead, you want Wget to wait only between retries of failed
52 # downloads, set waitretry to maximum number of seconds to wait (Wget
53 # will use "linear backoff", waiting 1 second after the first failure
54 # on a file, 2 seconds after the second failure, etc. up to this max).
59 ## Local settings (for a user to set in his $HOME/.wgetrc). It is
60 ## *highly* undesirable to put these settings in the global file, since
61 ## they are potentially dangerous to "normal" users.
63 ## Even when setting up your own ~/.wgetrc, you should know what you
64 ## are doing before doing so.
67 # Set this to on to use timestamping by default:
70 # It is a good idea to make Wget send your email address in a `From:'
71 # header with your request (so that server administrators can contact
72 # you in case of errors). Wget does *not* send `From:' by default.
73 #header = From: Your Name <username@site.domain>
75 # You can set up other headers, like Accept-Language. Accept-Language
76 # is *not* sent by default.
77 #header = Accept-Language: en
79 # You can set the default proxies for Wget to use for http, https, and ftp.
80 # They will override the value in the environment.
81 #https_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
82 #http_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
83 #ftp_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
85 # If you do not want to use proxy at all, set this to off.
88 # You can customize the retrieval outlook. Valid options are default,
89 # binary, mega and micro.
92 # Setting this to off makes Wget not download /robots.txt. Be sure to
93 # know *exactly* what /robots.txt is and how it is used before changing
97 # It can be useful to make Wget wait between connections. Set this to
98 # the number of seconds you want Wget to wait.
101 # You can force creating directory structure, even if a single is being
102 # retrieved, by setting this to on.
105 # You can turn on recursive retrieving by default (don't do this if
106 # you are not sure you know what it means) by setting this to on.
109 # To always back up file X as X.orig before converting its links (due
110 # to -k / --convert-links / convert_links = on having been specified),
111 # set this variable to on:
112 #backup_converted = off
114 # To have Wget follow FTP links from HTML files by default, set this
118 # To try ipv6 addresses first:
119 #prefer-family = IPv6
121 # Set default IRI support state
124 # Force the default system encoding
127 # Force the default remote server encoding
128 #remoteencoding = UTF-8
130 # Turn on to prevent following non-HTTPS links when in recursive mode
133 # Tune HTTPS security (auto, SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1, PFS)
134 #secureprotocol = auto
