The reason for this is if wget-log doesn't exist on your user directory, wget will create it and write its download progress into wget-log. If wget-log exists, wget-log.1 will get created and written to for the present download. The suffix number increases if the last one is present so you could get a bunch of wget-log files in your user directory if you don't manage them. The reasons you want wget-log are two. First you can check if the download is complete with: grep -i saved wget-log If grep returns nothing, it means either a download failed or hasn't yet finished. If grep returns a line of information with the word saved in it, it means your download is complete. The second reason is you can check the progress of your download with: wc -l wget-log That will return a number. If you repeat that command and get a higher number back, your download is progressing. If you don't use wget -bc url, you get a mess on your screen and no ability to check completion and progress of your download. --
