Hi, coders :)

Please, would you be able to give the current version?
Yours is 6 years old.. (1.15 vs 1.20.3)
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/

The version you are using has a problem with a long file name.
log retruns: File name too long

while I help with options -O filename.ext, which will shorten the name of the saved file :)

thank you
BoroSK

No problem attached version 1.20 , the binary must be copied to /usr/bin to replace the existing one

Please test and let us know if it solved your problem

thank you, new version working fine. -long file name is acepted :)

i have next problem, if I want to via GUI wget window use two-chracters command (for exapmle "-nd") in Additional options promt, so this is not accepted, single character command working right, and also show botton in "Command line to use" field...

for exeaple - this link:
http://jell.yfish.us/media/jellyfish-16 ... -10bit.mkv
me create subdirectories that I don't need.
it would be enough for me to save the file to the directory that I set in "Downloads place" promt..
ui

I don't know how to make it easier for you:
enable / correct the possibility of two-character input, or write a button into the WEB GUI : no-directories / don't create subdirectories

Hi

Indeed, the checking on the advanced field rejects any option beginning by a single '-' with at least two other letters. You have this behaviour with np, nd, nH or nv options. Currently you have to use their long syntax like --no-directories for nd for example.

Thank you for your early reply.
comands with long syntax working excellently!!!

I'm sorry I didn't try them myself.
Maybe this information will also help others.

big thanks again
