If you close the terminal while wget is running then wget essentially becomes a daemon. As far as I know you can't reattach it to another terminal. When detached from a terminal wget redirects output to a wget-log file. I know of two options: 1) start wget from within a screen. see "man screen" for usage. 2) "tail -f wget-log" to follow the log file on a new terminal. -- David Norris http://www.webaugur.com/dave/ ICQ - 412039
