I had old scripts like this that I run all the time, but never look back at them. The following works: wget -b -r -l1 --no-parent -nH -A.iso http://fedora.mirrors.tds.net/pub/fedora/releases/14/Fedora/i386/iso/ Only problem with this is that the wget log file is getting hugh with all the progress output.
