URLM_WGET [] Alternate command name: WGET Downloads a URL with wget. is treated the same as /urlm_open (see above). , if present, are passed to the wget process as-is (see also the urlm_wget_extra_args setting). When urlmanager runs wget, it creates a new irssi window (split or hidden) named urlm_wget_ (where is a unique serial number generated by urlmanager). This window behaves as a normal irssi window (shows up in /window list, can be closed with /window close, etc). By default, wget windows are created as hidden windows (change with urlm_wget_split_size setting), which are automatically closed 60 seconds after the wget process completes (change with urlm_wget_autoclose and urlm_wget_autoclose_delay settings). To cancel a wget download, you may close its window while wget is still running. This will kill the wget process, leaving any partially-downloaded files behind (which may be resumed with wget's -c option). Note: If you need to pass a numeric argument to /urlm_wget as its last argument, do not separate it from its command switch with a space. That is, instead of "/urlm_wget -T 30", use "/urlm_wget -T30" (or its long version, "/urlm_wget --timeout=30"). The reason for this restriction is that urlmanager will interpret the last argument as a URL number, if it's numeric.
