I always use the nifty nohup with wget:
nohup wget -r -c -nd ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/7.1/... &
nohup - keeps the process from being killed off when you disconnect from the
terminal
wget - (with these options) will recursivly snarf the contents of the target
directory
and put them in the current directory. If it get disconnected you
can just restart it and the -c will cause it to start where it left off.
& - will background the whole thing so you can keep doing things in the same
terminal
Also... nohup will (on redhat at least) write all the output to a file called
nohup.out. You can then come back and do a: tail -f nohup.out
to watch the progress.
later
