Subject: Downloading packages from a txt file
Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2005 08:18:08 -0700
Hello, a little while ago I asked this list for help with updating a
machine with no network connection.  The solution was to get a txt
list of the package paths and then download them on a networked
machine with this command:

sort -u links.txt | xargs -n 1 -i{} sh -c 'for i in {}; do wget -c $i
&& break; done'

This worked great then, but something must have changed because that
now only downloads about 12 or so files and then quits without an
error.  There are a lot more packages in links.txt to be downloaded. 
Does anyone know how to fix this?
