Wget Manual - Startup File Go to the first , previous , next , last section, table of contents . Once you know how to change default settings of Wget through command line arguments, you may wish to make some of those settings permanent. Then it will look for the user's file. Failing that, no further attempts will be made. The variable will also be called command .
Valid values are different for different commands.
Commands that expect a comma-separated list will clear the list on an empty command. The default behaviour is to save as much data as there is, provided there is more than or equal to the value in Content-Length . When download quota is specified, Wget will stop retrieving after the download sum has become greater than quota. Note that the user's startup file overrides system settings. If set to on, remove FTP listings downloaded by Wget.
