I'm using wget to bulk download a website, and it grabs files from other servers, however, some hosts are down. All wget does is just hang there, so I'd like it to just skip these websites. Is there a flag that I can use to skip downed hosts?

Would setting a timeout help? See, for example, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2291524/does-wget-timeout. – berndbausch Jan 21 '21 at 00:05
@berndbausch Yep! It worked perfectly! Thanks – Honest Jan 21 '21 at 00:13
