How to use wget, examples

Quite often one has to use the wget command in SSH on a Linux server, but the options are not always well known while they offer a quite large control, here are a few examples on how to use wget :

To download via a ftp server
wget -r l4 ftp://username:password(at)mysite.com/

To download a file with no special character in url
wget http://www.mysite.com/forum.html

To resume a download
wget -c http://www.mysite.com/forum.html

To convert all absolute links to relative ones
wget -k http://www.mysite.com/

To download a file with a special character "&" in url
wget "http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=forum&discussion=299"

To download all associated files as well
wget -p http://www.mysite.com/forum.html

To download a complete website
wget -r http://www.mysite.com/

To specify the filename after downloading it
wget --output-document=forum.html http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=forum

To limit the speed of the download
wget --limit-rate=20k http://www.mysite.com/

To download files with a particular extension
wget -A.htm http://www.mysite.com/

To download urls from a list in a file
wget -imy_url.txt
