[tor-talk] followup macox wget GUI front. supporting secure wget. deepvac

[stn]

this shareware app succeeded under osx.
without turning off the certificate check (!)
nice.

"deep vacuum"
http://www.hexcat.com/downloads.html
warning. shareware fee for some features.

also seems to be easier to use then cocao wget for most users.

from a usability perspective issues i've run into with wget involve a disconenct between what the user wants to do and how it's presented as an option.

one has to go through a lengthy decoding project to get what one wants.

so a well thought out gui overlay can help accessibility allot.

this version of gui wget at least has a minimal pick list easily decoded
eg "subdirectories only".

perfect for d/l datasets from torproject.
also has speed throttling (to be nice to tor) and size limits



not a hard recommendation but better than simple wget and cocao wget and easier than command line among osX options.

also supports https VS turning certificate check off.
