I'm not very familiar with wget, but I think you need to give it a file URL. If you gave it the URL for /funny/index you would more than likely download just that because the Web server would give wget what it asked for. What you need is to get a list of the files available at the URL so you can request them individually.

For example, DownThemAll, a Firefox extension lists all of the links in a Web page as well as the images. You can then select which ones you want to download. I don't think there is any way of automagically determining what files are available on any Web server. Some Web servers seem to be configured to give a directory listing when a directory is requested (and no default resource exists), however, that can't be relied upon.

Hopefully better replies will follow.

Oh wow, it's so much more powerful than I thought it was.

try curl. It's a program and a library.

Check here and here for wget help.

Click here, it should start downloading a zip package, unzip it and get wget.exe, that should be all you need. Now, the best you can do is creating a txt file with all the videos you want to download, one link per line, and execute wget -i file.txt

Not really, try executing wget http://www.google.com to see what it does. Also, do wget --version to see which version is.

Ah, and your program uses Allegro? Then you need alleg42.dll (or whichever version you used to compile the program). Also, if you compiled with Visual C++, the C++ runtime files (although you likely already have them, unless you are using a very new compiler and tried to run the executable in a very old computer).

Can you tell me anything else other than "refuses to operate"? There are thousands of reasons about why the program would not run and, believe me, you don't want me to start enumerating them.

What compiler did you use to compile the program?

Thats your problem. You need the right MSVC runtime components on the other computer. I don't know much about it, but Matthew does.

@BAF:

You're probably right, but then how come an allegro app runs fine on the other machine when all I need to include with the binary are the dll's and images, sounds etc.

@Mat:

/MT? What's that?

Hmm..so I changed the Runtime Library option to /MT, and I got lots of errors saying that functions were already defined in [fillintheblank].dll That's not supposed to happen!
