  • It means, that you don't have to use the limited embedded busybox command


    Feel free "to borrow" the wget binary from debian mipsel sources and unlink the original wget command from the busybox and replace it with the debian binary.
    Or execute the debian binary from your prefered folder (/hdd/bin ...). You can also create a .profile file in the home directory of root and add an alias for wget.
    Then the alias will be used first instead of the busybox command



    (/home/root/.profile will not be overwritten by updates :winking_face: )

    Code
    root@dm800se:~# cat ~/.profile
    alias wget='/home/root/wget'
    # alias wget='/hdd/bin/wget'
    root@dm800se:~#
