be concatenated together and written to @var{file}. If @var{file}
already exists, it will be overwritten. If the @var{file} is @samp{-},

@cindex clobbering, file
@cindex downloading multiple times
directories beginning with @file{fly.srk.fer.hr/}. This option disables
such behavior.
+@item --protocol-directories
+Use the protocol name as a directory component of local file names. For
+example, with this option, @samp{wget -r http://@var{host}} will save to
+@samp{http/@var{host}/...} rather than just to @samp{@var{host}/...}.

+Disable generation of host-prefixed directories. By default, invoking

@cindex cut directories
@item --cut-dirs=@var{number}
Ignore @var{number} directory components. This is useful for getting a
Set the type of the progress indicator. Legal types are ``dot'' and
``bar''.
+@item protocol_directories = on/off
+When set, use the protocol name as a directory component of local file

@item proxy_user = @var{string}
Set proxy authentication user name to @var{string}, like @samp{--proxy-user}.

Various Wget versions have been compiled and tested under many kinds of

-Ultrix, *BSD, IRIX, and others; refer to the file @file{MACHINES} in the
-distribution directory for a comprehensive list. If you compile it on
-an architecture not listed there, please let me know so I can update it.

Wget should also compile on the other Unix systems, not listed in

Thanks to kind contributors, this version of Wget compiles and works on
Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows NT platforms. It has been compiled
-successfully using MS Visual C++ 4.0, Watcom, and Borland C compilers,
+successfully using MS Visual C++ 6.0, Watcom, and Borland C compilers,
with Winsock as networking software. Naturally, it is crippled of some
features available on Unix, but it should work as a substitute for
people stuck with Windows. Note that the Windows port is
@strong{neither tested nor maintained} by me---all questions and
-problems should be reported to Wget mailing list at
-@email{wget@@sunsite.dk} where the maintainers will look at them.
