Re: Download a file with long path - from internet.


I'm not sure I know what you mean. Wget told me that the path was too long and it truncated it, aria2c didn't give me the same warning and worked perfectly with the same path. These programs were both running on the same operating system on the same computer.

This leads me to think that it isn't ...

Re: Download a file with long path - from internet.



wget has a lot of possible arguments. With `wget -o <outputfile> <URL>` you can download anything to a file name of your choice.


I have already achieved what I need to do, but I'm curious. Are you suggesting that wget can be used to download a file with a path longer than 300 characters?

Re: Adventure

You should have a look at your shadow rendering. In the real world overlapping shadows from a single light source do not show different shadings. It's always one shading for the whole overlap. So you may have to use a dedicated shadow layer where all shadows are being merged together with everything ...

Hm, on Linux it works but it also seems just to be simple StringGadget with only numbers and dots allowed. You can type anything into it.

I don't think so. It happens basically daily and it happened again today. Totally unusable for some time. Either it takes 20-30 seconds to load or a page or just a white page appears with an error showing that the requested page has timed out.

I can only think of Windows vs Linux here. Windows collects data, Linux usually does not, except you want it to do so.
