Hi:

# wget -o mylog url

By default, messages go to STDERR.

You can also do:

# wget -h

...to get help.

Shalom,

I would like to see the log file but this looks like a bandwidth problem between your system and the file.

Commands don't go to files. Program output
can go to a file. What would you like to
have go to standard output? What would you
like to happen to the messages?

> # wget -h

Usually a good idea. As it says there (wget
1.10.2 -- what's yours, or should we already
know that?):

-o, --output-file=FILE log messages to FILE.

-O, --output-document=FILE write documents to FILE.


In fact, "-O -" should work to send a simple
downloaded document to stdout (whence ">>"
will append it where you say). Note,
however, that "-O" messes with the operation
of some of the other popular options, so if
you want to do anything non-simple, you may
need to be more creative.

A search for "-O" at
http://www.mail-archive.com/wget@sunsite.dk/
should reveal some of the potential problems.
