-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Lance Nehring on 3/22/2006 11:18 AM: > Hi all, > I tried to use the mkcygwget script to download a cygwin mirror for > offline installation. The mkcygwget script generates a script named > cygwget to do the heavy lifting of retreiving files. However, I got a > "argument list too long" exception from wget, since the generated script > has all the files to be downloaded appended to a single wget command. Consider using xargs. It is more efficient to collect as many arguments as will fit to a single wget command than it is to spawn a separate wget process for every filename. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
