Best Practices for Using Python Wget: How to Efficiently Download Files?

22 Replies, 1695 Views

Hey, for large files, I’d suggest using `--directory-prefix` to organize your downloads. Also, `--no-parent` is great to avoid downloading unnecessary parent directories.

For retries, `--retry-on-http-error` is super useful. It retries on specific HTTP errors, which is handy.

For threading, yeah, it’s clunky. Maybe try `asyncio` with `aiofiles`? It’s a bit more modern and works great for async downloads.
