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?

    in my case this downloads `robots.txt` file only – vladkras Nov 02 '16 at 11:59

    in case you only get robots.txt then you can append '-e robots=off --wait 1 http://www.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 http://www.site.here – Ishan Sharma May 17 '17 at 10:07
  • Watch out using the recursive `-r` tag. This can cause all sorts of external files to be downloaded too. – clayRay Apr 28 '22 at 03:00

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