Help a Noob use WGET

[odinswand]

Heya guys.

I'm trying to download all the data under this directory, using wget:

*ttp://gd2.mlb.***/components/game/mlb/year_2010/

I would like to achieve this using wget, and from what I've read it should be possible using the --recursive flag. Unfortunately, I've had no luck so far.

The only files that get downloaded are robots.txt and index.html (which doesn't actually exist on the server), but wget does not follow any of the links on the directory list.

The code I've been using is:

wget -r *ttp://gd2.mlb.***/components/game/mlb/year_2010/

Please help me out guys.

Cheers

Hi & welcome odinswand!

I can suggest typing in terminal:

$ man wget

Thanks for your suggestion. I've read the man pages and nothing has helped. Perhaps I am missing something.

It is possible that the server or application running there has identified your wget client as a non-browser, and is returning a subset or alternate content, to prevent site copying. You may be able to spoof the server by using some wget options, such as --user-agent and --random-wait.
It is also possible that the website you see in your browser cotains a lot of Javascript and/or Java applet content that wget is unable to cope with.
