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.

smbget

SMBGET(1)							   User Commands							 SMBGET(1)

NAME

       smbget - wget-like utility for download files over SMB

SYNOPSIS

       smbget [-a, --guest] [-r, --resume] [-R, --recursive] [-u, --username=STRING] [-p, --password=STRING] [-w, --workgroup=STRING]
	[-n, --nonprompt] [-d, --debuglevel=INT] [-D, --dots] [-P, --keep-permissions] [-o, --outputfile] [-f, --rcfile] [-q, --quiet]
	[-v, --verbose] [-b, --blocksize] [-O, --stdout] [-?, --help] [--usage] {smb://host/share/path/to/file} [smb://url2/] [...]

DESCRIPTION

       This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.

       smbget is a simple utility with wget-like semantics, that can download files from SMB servers. You can specify the files you would like to
       download on the command-line.

       The files should be in the smb-URL standard, e.g. use smb://host/share/file for the UNC path \\HOST\SHARE\file.

OPTIONS

       -a, --guest
	   Work as user guest

       -r, --resume
	   Automatically resume aborted files

       -R, --recursive
	   Recursively download files

       -u, --username=STRING
	   Username to use

       -p, --password=STRING
	   Password to use

       -w, --workgroup=STRING
	   Workgroup to use (optional)

       -n, --nonprompt
	   Don't ask anything (non-interactive)

       -d, --debuglevel=INT
	   Debuglevel to use

       -D, --dots
	   Show dots as progress indication

       -P, --keep-permissions
	   Set same permissions on local file as are set on remote file.

       -o, --outputfile
	   Write the file that is being downloaded to the specified file. Can not be used together with -R.

       -O, --stdout
	   Write the file that is being downloaded to standard output.

       -f, --rcfile
	   Use specified rcfile. This will be loaded in the order it was specified - e.g. if you specify any options before this one, they might
	   get overriden by the contents of the rcfile.

       -q, --quiet
	   Be quiet

       -v, --verbose
	   Be verbose

       -b, --blocksize
	   Number of bytes to download in a block. Defaults to 64000.

       -?, --help
	   Show help message

       --usage
	   Display brief usage message

SMB URLS

       SMB URL's should be specified in the following format:

	   smb://[[[domain;]user[:password@]]server[/share[/path[/file]]]]

	   smb:// means all the workgroups

	   smb://name/ means, if name is a workgroup, all the servers in this workgroup, or if name is a server, all the shares on this server.

EXAMPLES

	   # Recursively download 'src' directory
	   smbget -R smb://rhonwyn/jelmer/src
	   # Download FreeBSD ISO and enable resuming
	   smbget -r smb://rhonwyn/isos/FreeBSD5.1.iso
	   # Recursively download all ISOs
	   smbget -Rr smb://rhonwyn/isos
	   # Backup my data on rhonwyn
	   smbget -Rr smb://rhonwyn/

BUGS

       Permission denied is returned in some cases where the cause of the error is unknown (such as an illegally formatted smb:// url or trying to
       get a directory without -R turned on).

VERSION

       This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite.

AUTHOR

       The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
       Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.

       The smbget manpage was written by Jelmer Vernooij.
