Great news Aragon,
If you get stuck
some of our coders are most helpful
Hey Lobster...I like pwget...please don't get too many functions as it's perfect for me as is....Thanks for pwget..I use it all the time as I'm such a slow typist with the command line.
Copy and paste into pwget/wget is a real time saver here.

I am sue Aragon will bear that in mind
The original pwget was written in Tkl and I found it invaluable
- written by another Puppy called Eric too . . .
when we dropped Tkl (Tkl now back in 4.2 I believe) I missed it
so did some rare programming
I am hoping Aragon will move any extras into an advanced option
So it should be as simple as before

SURE!
pwget remains like it is, with one button more => advanced.

Ok, now a first alpha.
The featurelist of wget is looooong, so i picked this ones:
- Copy Website
- Download multiple files
- Download files from filelist
with simplest options.
Please test.

just tried
on Puppy 3.01, When I click on a pwget simple button, GUI disappears, and does not turn in simple pwget mode

hi dingo,
2 possible reasons:
- pwget (simple) is not installed. it is a link to lobsters pwget. => main post
- pwget is installed but in another directory. it is a link to /usr/local/bin/pwget
if advanced proofs it's functions and lobster gives his ok, we could bundle the 2 parts later.

Sorry Aragon - only just seen this
I would do it the other way around
Start in simple mode and add a button for advanced features
I would maybe change 'Copy Website' to 'Download Website'
In Help - 'address' (not 'adress' - spelling)

I was messing around with Pwget today and changed a few things in it,
I removed 'ok' and replaced with download.
I reused, but included the puppy logo as a banner, The actual pet size is like 3kb on puppy 4 series, Since its replacing the logo with the same logo. But I included the 4 series logo for series 2&3 hence the 8.6kb pet size, still smaller than the original version
below is the package and Screenshot

ttuuxxx,
How about combining the above, with gposil's adaptation that includes a login and password feature?
http://www.gposil.com/pets/pwsget-0.1.pet This would make it a better alternative to uget that Barry has included in 417.

How about improving on / extending Pwget with some much needed features?
- Switch User Agent: Some sites are very picky and won't let you download any files unless Pwget reports a specific user agent to the site.
- Set the time to auto-resume after connection is down. Resuming in Pwget is a nice feature, but it takes more than 5 minutes (!) for Pwget to resume a download in case your dial-up / ADSL connection gets reset / disconnected. That's too long
- A way to STOP (CANCEL) the download - an *essential* feature
- No cookies (Don't use cookies)

Classic obuscation of a command line app. Sad.
