What is wget?

wget is a free command-line utility for downloading files from the web. It supports various protocols like HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP. It's a powerful tool, especially for automating downloads in scripts or cron jobs.

How to use wget in Colab

1. Downloading a file:

 

!wget <file_url>

Use code with caution

Replace <file_url> with the actual URL of the file you want to download. The file will be saved in the current working directory of your Colab notebook (usually /content/).

Example

 

!wget https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.pdf

Use code with caution

This command will download the wget manual in PDF format and store it in the /content/ directory of your Colab instance.

Important Considerations

• Permissions: In Colab, you have read and write permissions within the /content/ directory and its subdirectories. If you need to save the file to a different location, make sure you have the necessary permissions.
• Large Files: For very large files, consider using libraries like requests or urllib with progress bars for better control and monitoring of the download.
• Authentication: If the file requires authentication, wget provides options to handle that. Refer to the wget documentation for details on how to pass credentials.
• Background Downloads: By default, wget runs in the foreground, blocking further execution until the download is complete. You can use the -b option to run it in the background.

Which storage you mounted (google drive, onedrive, mega drive, mediafire, and more clouds storage...)

Code type in cell:

!wget <link> 

#replace your link with <link> = !wget https://..

Wget multiple download

Okay, here's how you can download multiple files using wget in Colab:

Steps:

 Past links using space 

!wget <link> <link> <link> ...

Or 

Create a text file containing the URLs:

Create a text file (e.g., download_list.txt) where each line contains the URL of a file you want to download. For instance:

 

https://example.com/file1.zip

     https://example.com/file2.txt

     https://example.com/file3.jpg

Use code with caution

Use wget with the -i option:

Execute the following command in a Colab cell:

 

!wget -i download_list.txt

Use code with caution

The -i option tells wget to read URLs from the specified file (download_list.txt).

Reasoning:

wget is a command-line utility for downloading files from the web.

The -i option allows you to specify a file containing a list of URLs, making it convenient for downloading multiple files.

By default, wget will save the downloaded files in the current working directory. You can use the -P option to specify a different output directory.

Example:

 

!echo "https://example.com/file1.zip" > download_list.txt

!echo "https://example.com/file2.txt" >> download_list.txt

!echo "https://example.com/file3.jpg" >> download_list.txt

!wget -i download_list.txt

Use code with caution

Additional Options:

-O filename: Specify the output filename for a single URL in the list.

-P directory: Specify the download directory.

-b: Run in the background.

-q: Quiet mode (suppress output).

-c or --continue: Resume a partially downloaded file.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
