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

22 Replies, 1685 Views

Wow, thanks for all the tips, everyone! I tried using `--continue` and `--limit-rate`, and it’s working way better now. The mid-download fails are way less frequent.

I also gave `asyncio` a shot, and it’s definitely cleaner than threading. Still figuring out the quirks, but it’s a game-changer for multiple downloads.

One quick follow-up: anyone know how to handle SSL errors gracefully with python wget? I keep running into cert issues, and `--no-check-certificate` feels a bit risky. Any safer alternatives?

Thanks again, y’all! This thread has been super helpful.
