help/suggestions needed with wget
Hi

I'm thinking of using the following command to download some music from websites I visit (designated in the mp3blogs.txt file):

wget -r -l1 -H -t1 -nd -N -np -A.mp3 -erobots=off -i ~/mp3blogs.txt -P ~/Music/WGet

My only question is, is there ANY way to either download files that have been posted ONLY after a certain date (like today) or only download a certain number of files from each site in my txt file?

I know that the -N timestamp will check the files I've downloaded and only download new ones but as far as starting out, I don't want to download ALL the files some sites have available dating back to what could be years. That's why I was wondering about a solution as described above.

I know curl has a -z command that some people say might work but I'm more fond of wget.

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

debpear

debpear(1)						      General Commands Manual							debpear(1)

NAME

       debpear - automatically builds and installs PEAR packages as Debian packages

SYNOPSIS

       debpear [options] <pear-package-name>

DESCRIPTION

       debpear	is  a  tool  to  automatically create and build a Debian package out of a PHP PEAR package. It will download the PEAR package from
       pear.php.net, then by looking into it, create the corresponding Debian package, and eventually also installs it.

PARAMETERS

       <pear-package-name>

	      Defines the PEAR package name you want to install, as seen on the http://pear.php.net/ site. Make sure respect the case in the  name
	      of the package (for example: Package_NAME).

OPTIONS

       --build-dir|-b

	      Specify the directory where the Debian package will be built.

       --verbose|-v

	      Makes debpear more verbose.

       --channel|-c channel

	      Specify the URL channel of the PEAR package. Currently not implemented: please contribute!

       --tarball|-t tarball --pkg-version|-pv pkg-version [ --wget|-w URL ]

	      Do not use "pear download" to optain the PEAR package from upstream authors.  Instead, use tarball and use pkg-version when building
	      the package.  Eventually also download the tarball from URL using wget before building.

       --install|-i

	      Install the resulting debian package in your system. Note that you must be root to use this option. If you aren't root, then debpear
	      will try to get root using sudo.

EXAMPLE

       debpear -i Auth_RADIUS

	      This  will  create  a php-auth-radius package in ./build-area, and automatically install it. Because it's written in the package.xml
	      shipped with Auth_RADIUS at pear.php.net, php-auth-radius will depend on php5-radius.

       debpear -t current.tgz -pv 1.3.1 -w http://downloads.jasig.org/cas-clients/php/current.tgz CAS

	      Downloads cas-clients from http://downloads.jasig.org/cas-clients/php/current.tgz, as current.tgz in  the  current  directory,  then
	      builds it as if it was downloaded as CAS-1.3.1.tgz by "pear download".

IMPORTANT

	      Note  that  the  debian/copyright file generated by debpear isn't good enough for redistribution of the created packages. You should
	      carefuly review the PEAR package license before doing so. Also, debpear has been created for convenience, but it will never  replace
	      the  manual work of an experienced Debian maintainer for creating PEAR packages. It can, however, be used to create a template pack-
	      age quickly, before a careful review, in order to save time building a Debian PEAR package.

AUTHORS

	      debpear has been written by Thomas Goirand <zigo@debian.org>, and is maintained inside the PKG PHP PEAR Debian  team,  that  can	be
	      reached at: <pkg-php-pear@lists.alioth.debian.org>.
