Use a timeout!!!!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The default wget timeout is 900 seconds. If you are using wget in an application and will retry then make sure you specify a timeout to avoid the possibility of multiple wgets being called on top of each other<\/p>\n\n\n\n
–tries Number of retires, default 20. Useful if downloading large files etc if connection requires reattempts to finish the download<\/p>\n\n\n\n
–timeout Timeout in seconds<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wget -qO- --tries=1 --timeout=60 \"http:\\\\something\"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n–tries and –timeout used together<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
