How to download all images from a website using wget?

Question

Here is an example of my command:

wget -r -l 0 -np -t 1 -A jpg,jpeg,gif,png -nd --connect-timeout=10 -P ~/support --load-cookies cookies.txt "http://support.proboards.com/" -e robots=off

Based on the input here

But nothing really gets downloaded, no recursive crawling, it takes just a few seconds to complete. I am trying to backup all images from a forum, is the forum structure causing issues?

Answer 1

wget -r -P /download/location -A jpg,jpeg,gif,png http://www.site.here

works like a charm

in my case this downloads robots.txt file only – Overprize

in case you only get robots.txt then you can append '-e robots=off --wait 1 site.here ' to your wget command. This will overwrite the robots.txt file and fetch you the content you are looking for. Eg: wget -r -P /download/location -A jpg,jpeg,gif,png -e robots=off --wait 1 site.here – Bedridden

Watch out using the recursive -r tag. This can cause all sorts of external files to be downloaded too. – Disputant

Download image file with another name. Here I provide the wget.zip file name as shown below.
