hi all where does wget put the files it downloads by default finally found a program to download 64bit man10.0 and i cant find the files its downloading, i hope i see the activity on the router but cant find anything on the drive thanks for the help as always david
usually into a subdirectory of your current dir. if you download using wget http://foobar.com/software/rpm/foobar-3.1.2-4.i386.rpm
it will create foobar.com/software/rpm/foobar-3.1.2-4.i386.rpm
Not by default it won't. The file foobar-3.1.2-4.i386.rpm will be saved in the current directory.
if you don't want it to do this, but to put the file in you local directory directly, try
wget -nH -nd http://foobar.com/software/rpm/foobar-3.1.2-4.i386.rpm
this is not a good idea for recursive (ie multi-file/directory) downloads. for those read man wget and check out the --cut-dirs option
