Download https://distro.ibiblio.org/slitaz/packages/5.0/

Is there a way I could download all these packages at once and save to my hdd rather than individually one at a time.

I have access to a very fast connection where I could do this but sometime experiment with my PC where the connection is very slow so it would be useful.

Hi there,

Terrybull, there's a way to get individual files.

[*]Install wget package. You have one wget already in the busybox package, but it can't download recursively.

[*]Prepare the empty directory and go into it.

[*]Open the terminal here and enter the command: [c]wget --recursive --no-parent --no-check-certificate https://distro.ibiblio.org/slitaz/packages/5.0/[/c]

[*]You will see the downloading process. After the process completed all the thousands of packages  you'll find inside the sub-directory.

Thanks Aleksej.

Do you have an approximate size of the complete packages. Just making sure my hdd is big enough. It's a very old laptop.

Well, I have no numbers.

Looking onto the fresh packages ISO (provided by Ceel in the previous message) size - 5.5 GB I think the sum of all packages is something relative - 5.5 to 6 GB.

UPDATE

5,810,334K bytes in 5521 files
