NAME
wget-retry - Wget wrapper to retry harder
VERSION
This document describes version 0.003 of wget-retry (from Perl distribution App-wget-retry), released on 2020-07-13.
SYNOPSIS
Use like you would use wget:
% wget-retry -c -t0 https://example.com/url1 ...DESCRIPTION
By default, wget doesn't retry harder; only upon disconnection in the middle of downloading (with -t/--tries, e.g. -t 0) and on connection refused (with --retry-connrefused) but not on other network failures, e.g. DNS resolution failure (which can happen sometimes).
This wrapper runs wget then checks its exit code. If exit code indicates network failure (4) it will re-run wget.
The number of tries is unlimited, or from the -t (<--tries>) option. The number of seconds to wait before each try is 10 seconds or from the --waitretry option.

The default is 1,3,4,5,6,7,8. For more details on wget exit statuses, see the wget's manpage.
WGET_RETRY_WGET_CMD
