The file StaticDownloadLinks-w61-x64-glb.txt has already changed since the release 10.7.4. There is a new version available in the development version "trunk":
http://trac.wsusoffline.net/browser/tru ... 64-glb.txtIt is also downloaded with the mechanism "update static download definitions". This is a two-step approach:
First, the file
http://download.wsusoffline.net/StaticD ... dified.txt is downloaded to the static directory.
Second, all files referenced in the file StaticDownloadFiles-modified.txt are also downloaded to the static directory. This will replace the file StaticDownloadLinks-w61-x64-glb.txt at least once.
In this case, the script RemoveGermanLanguageSupport.cmd will
not be called automatically. The new automatism is in the script UpdateOU.new, which is not used for the update of static download definitions.
You can run the script RemoveGermanLanguageSupport.cmd manually. Then the edited copy of the file StaticDownloadLinks-w61-x64-glb.txt will be newer than the file on the server. Since wget uses timestamping for all downloads, the edited copy could be expected to stick.
But old versions of wget have a silly behavior, which is widely considered a bug: wget will always download the file, whenever the file size changes, regardless of the file modification dates. Removing the German download link surely changes the file size, and then the file StaticDownloadLinks-w61-x64-glb.txt will be downloaded again.
There would be three workarounds for the behavior:
- You could edit the file StaticDownloadLinks-w61-x64-glb.txt manually and not just delete the German link, but also duplicate the corresponding English link. Then the file size should stay exactly the same, and wget should not download the file again (not until another, newer version becomes available online). But this is a rather silly approach; it would just prove the point, that the file size is important.
- You could get a recent version of wget and put it into the directory wsusoffline/bin. Recent versions of wget have a much improved method for timestamping, and this should remove the odd behavior of the bundled version. Windows builds are available at:
https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/
- You could also use Aria2 as the download utility by running the script ActivateAria2Downloads.cmd. Aria2 uses the same method for timestamping as recent versions of wget.
