MacOS X 10.4.6 - wget
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

It’s not universal, since I built it on my INTEL mac. Doubt it will work on PPC but one could try.

Apple Technical Note TN2029 states “The command wget has been replaced by the command curl.” !?

[…] Since I knew we weren’t going to be creating any new posts, I figured a copy of the site would be enough. I don’t really know how I knew this, but I knew there was a Unix tool called wget that could be used to make local copies of websites. I figured OS X would have a copy, given its Unix roots, but apparently it doesn’t. I didn’t trust myself to compile it from scratch (I’m still a ways away from that level of competency), and I didn’t trust a build from a random blog (Sorry Kevin!) I did find an application called DeepVacuum, which is a GUI on top of an modified wget. I downloaded it and gave it a try. (Don’t ask why I trusted the software from HexCat and not Kevin. I don’t have a good reason. In fact, when I think about it, if someone was trying to get me to install malicious software, they would set up a professional looking website, and not use some random blog.) […]

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
