Hey! I’ve been using wget scrape urls for a while, and here’s what I’ve learned:
- Use `--wait` to add delays between requests. It helps avoid getting blocked.
- For recursive downloads, I always set `-l` and `--no-parent` to avoid going too deep or outside the target directory.
- If you’re getting blocked, try rotating user agents with `--user-agent`.
Also, check out Octoparse if you want a no-code alternative. It’s not as powerful as wget but way easier for beginners.
