well, I got that from looking at the links provided on the page. . .


if you don't want it to overwrite the file, then you could force each file to be unique via something like:

-O `date`.jpg 

Maybe try adding in a -c before the -r and see if that fixes it.

I think wget might have a --no-clobber option, but I'd have to check

I really was just giving you the 20-second version of help, given that I'm fairly familiar with wget.

curl (as opposed to wget) might have the options you're looking for and be able to do this too.

It was funny, I had the file manager opened to the page it was downloading to and something would appear and as soon as the download was complete it would disappear. Then, after a canceled wget it would show half a picture.

Todd.... I am so glad I asked the question. I wondered if there was a way to do the 'A' option. Now I know! So cool.
