I need to download about 10,000 files from a HTTP server. I am using wget. It works. This command created a subfolder 192.168.1.173+8080/files with about 4,000 files, after which I believe the HTTP server crashed.
wget -r --no-parent http://192.168.1.173:8080/files
I restarted the HTTP server. I would like to restart the download, and skip all existing files, but if I run the same command I get an error.
$ wget -r --no-parent http://192.168.1.173:8080/files

192.168.1.173+8080/files: Is a directory
It seems related to the folder already existing. I tried --nc and -N but to no avail.
