wget doesnot work

[ahmedlasheen]

Good Morning everybody
i wonder why this command doesnot work , i am trying to download realplayer using wget command.

wget -o http://www.real.com/realcom/R?href=h...ayer11GOLD.bin

take out the -o and it should work, -o is expecting another argument after it, which is the link, which is why it isn't working, read the man page for wget

[ahmedlasheen]

I do it , but it still doesnot work , this is the output
[ahmed@localhost ~]$ wget http://www.real.com/realcom/R?href=h...ayer11GOLD.bin
wget: No match.
[ahmed@localhost ~]$

that link works for me with wget, do you have a proxy or anything to connect to the internet?

Are you sure you have wget installed? What is the output of:

which wget

[ahmedlasheen]

i have wget on my computer
this is the output on my shell

[ahmed@localhost ~]$ which wget
/usr/bin/wget
[ahmed@localhost ~]$ wget
wget: missing URL
Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...

Try `wget --help' for more options.
[ahmed@localhost ~]$

all what i wanna to do is to download the realplayer using wget , i think that the problem is taken a copy of the URL of button on web page may need some other option other than taken from ordinary URL link.

if the wget work with somebody . check if the downloaded realplayer is 7.5 MB

That address forwards to another address which may be causing the problem. Try

 wget http://software-dl.real.com/17c69a76a6c672690e05/unix/RealPlayer11GOLD.bin

I had the same issue. The problem is the questionmark in your query. The solution is to enclose the url in single quotes.

(and as mentioned previously, your use of -o is faulty)

My first post here does not allow me to post links so I can't write your exact statement, but to give you the gist write something like this and it should work:
wget 'url'
