Delays between requests in wget

Question

I want to load the web with wget, but to make it more like a real user, I would like to make slight random delays between requests. I am executing wget via cmd.

Answer 1

You can add the code below to your command line, which adds ten seconds of waiting between server requests.

-w 10

And you can also enable

- random-wait

To your command line with the -w option, which will change in expectation of 0.5 and 1.5 times the value that you specify here.
