Tomas,

I was not accurate in my description. Using -Nc makes no difference, what's
downloaded is a 4096 byte file name; same size as a directory listing. I'm
not getting the entire file.

In another web page there are *many* files, all .pdf, to be downloaded. I've
not found the proper wget command options to download them all. When I try:
wget *.pdf
that's the name of the file instantly 'downloaded.'

I'll look for more detailed help on learning wget.

Regards,

Rich
