| al@17288 | 1 Wget is a network utility to retrieve files from the web using HTTP(S) and FTP, |
| al@17288 | 2 the two most widely used internet protocols. It works non-interactively, so it |
| al@17288 | 3 will work in the background, after having logged off. The program supports |
| al@17288 | 4 recursive retrieval of web-authoring pages as well as FTP sites -- you can use |
| al@17288 | 5 Wget to make mirrors of archives and home pages or to travel the web like a WWW |
| al@17288 | 6 robot. |
| al@17288 | 7 Wget works particularly well with slow or unstable connections by continuing to |
| al@17288 | 8 retrieve a document until the document is fully downloaded. Re-getting files |
| al@17288 | 9 from where it left off works on servers (both HTTP and FTP) that support it. |
| al@17288 | 10 Both HTTP and FTP retrievals can be time stamped, so Wget can see if the remote |
| al@17288 | 11 file has changed since the last retrieval and automatically retrieve the new |
| al@17288 | 12 version if it has. |
| al@17288 | 13 Wget supports proxy servers; this can lighten the network load, speed up |
| al@17288 | 14 retrieval, and provide access behind firewalls. |
