Hello, I have the same Version of wget:
GNU Wget 1.13.4 built on linux-gnu. from package wget (1.13.4-3+deb7u2) on a plain wheezy arch i386. The following command continiously raises RSS, 500 MiB in less than 2 minutes, and will eventually crash the system via OOM: wget -nc -c -r -l 1 -A \ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24 \ https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/ Christian -- Christian Knoke * * * http://cknoke.de * * * * * * * * * Ceterum censeo Microsoft esse dividendum.
