Few(a little,not enough,poorly) who knows, that in 1998 George Nechaev has compiled WGET with some changes interface. Conclusion points was replaced on display already skachannogo volume, speed, time from beginning skachivanija and time end skachivanija (ETA). Besides it, in heading VIO window WGET is deduced already skachannyj volume file in percentage, time up to end and name file. This information is visible, for example in Window List, in Minimized Viewer and in all switches problems(tasks), showing headings windows (for example svitcher from Sysbar/2 Dmitry Platonova). Skachat' this version is possible here: wget-1.5.3-os2-nodots.exe.bz2, 55k, (for unpacking is required bzip2, 101k).

For any(anyone) version WGET is possible to bring adjustment proksi and other parameters in file initialization. On default is file .wgetrc in catalogue, registered in variable environment (environment) HOME, but is possible to specify complete name file with way in variable environment WGETRC. For example so:

  SET WGETRC=D:\0S2\HOME\.wgetrc

  use_proxy = off ftp_proxy = http: // fnet-proxy.kollegienet.dk:3128 http_proxy = http: // fnet-proxy.kollegienet.dk:3128 proxy-user = user on proxy proxy-passwd = password on proxy user-agent=Mozilla/4.61 [en] (OS/2; I)
