Changes since puf-0.93.2a:
1.0.0 (16 Oct 2005)
- Fixed command line parsing error that caused -d to be taken as -dc
- -r[+[+]] doesn't imply -p any more, but it advances -p to -pr[+[+]]
- The scope of URL-based switches can be limited with brackets now
- The file supplied to -i is now interpreted as a generic command file
with one command line switch (incl. argument) or URL per line
- Dropped SPEC format - use -O and the new -xy/-xyy switches instead
- $http_proxy is now obeyed if no proxies are specified with -y/-iy
- Scope of -O switch unified with other URL-based switches
- Made -O buffer output when dumping multiple sources to one target
- Added support for "-O -"
- Added -A, -R, -D, -Dl, -Dr, -xr, -xu, -xs, -xo and -xO switches
- Removed -xe switch
- -xE now enumerates per occurrence of -P
- Vast performance improvements of large downloads
- Automatically %-escape [invalid] spaces in URLs
- Various bug fixes
- Change of versioning scheme to something more reasonable
0.93.3 (20 May 2004)
- Don't retry after HTTP errors 403 and 404. Added -xT switch to
enforce the old behaviour (for some really broken servers)
- Don't spawn a separate process for every DNS lookup, but use a
pool of DNS helper processes instead
- Added -xh and -dc switches
- Fixed file corruption on CygWin
puf is a download tool for UNIX-like systems. You may use it to download
single files or to mirror entire servers. It is similar to GNU wget (and has
a partly compatible command line), but has the ability to do many downloads in
parallel. This is very interesting, if you have a high-bandwidth internet
connection.
