Well my MacBook Pro arrived. Couldn’t find a binary version of wget for MacOSX 10.4.6 so decided to build it for myself. wget makes easy work of downloading HTTP/FTP items. I needed this to grab some of the certs when trying to get Gmail’s POP over SSL to work on my Nokia E61.
Here’s the copy of wget I built on Mac OS X 10.4.6

aapl eh?
yup.. just time to switch and *try* to be like the cool kids.
It’s not universal, since I built it on my INTEL mac. Doubt it will work on PPC but one could try.
Fink/DarwinPorts have ports of wget for mac os X.
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate this. I’ll be putting this to use having it run cron for my site hosted on godaddy.
Thanks for the binary!! Just put it in my /usr/bin and it worked fine. Had to change permissions to copy it w/ chmod though.
Apple Please include wget it is a useful tool!!!
Thanks Again
Unfortunately the wget is no longer there 🙁
