You don't have a "ulimit" set at 100MB do you? Type "ulimit". Or are you using quotas? Or is your file system full? Type "df -k .".

Just typed in ulimit and it says 100000. How do I change this?

It's listed in "man bash".

$ ulimit -a
will list all current limits on your shell.

$ ulimit -f xxxxx
will set a file size limit of xxxxx.

You probably have "ulimit" set in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile or /etc/profile.

If you are *always* going to use a "-c" then you might as well add this to your profile:

alias wget='wget -c'

Code: [Select]

You can always break out of the endless loop with a "break" based on a condition of your choosing.

Here's the loop section in the bash shell programming reference:

Here's the one X11 wanted with the loops... Hey X11, do you want to help me out here? Look at your location box in your browser. It should say "t=001177" at the end. I am working my way down through the threads. I've already gone through "t=001185" down to this one. Could you start at "t=001150" and work your way down. Just post a message in each one and it will make it show up on the main Linux/UNIX index page. I'll stop where you started and we'll figure it out from there...
