There are some advantages to curl over wget that might be worth looking into. For one thing, it's better at following links that are redirected. I know the standard Slackbuild scripts typically use wget, but I've pretty much switched to curl in most of my use cases. I've also hit a few cases where the tar utility failed to unarchive a source file and had to switch to other utilities. Sincerely, Laura |
