Is there a way to get boost libraries with wget via some ftp server? I am on linux and want to write a script to grab the source directly.

$ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.40.0/boost_1_40_0.tar...

Though that's http now. Fun aside. I guess Matthew initially wanted sourcefile-by-sourcefile access, for which SVN would do a good job, especially considering bandwidth waste. Sebastian http://picogen.org

I am getting an error when trying to do this.

magala@ORCLUS41 ~/COIN/coin-Decomp/Decomp/examples/ExternalSolvers/Graph $ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.40.0/boost_1_40_0 .tar.bz2 --2009-09-23 01:10:27-- http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1. 40.0/boost_1_40_0.tar.bz2 Resolving downloads.sourceforge.net... 216.34.181.59 Connecting to downloads.sourceforge.net|216.34.181.59|:80... failed: Connection refused.

Not really related to boost. Anyway: The commandline you have given tries to download a directory, and it's not the commandline given to you by Christoph. Try do download an actual file. It can also be that you have to work at some direct link, like http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.40.0/boost_1_40_0.tar...
