| Hans-G?nter@25408 | 1 Wget is a network utility to retrieve files from the web using HTTP(S) |
| Hans-G?nter@25408 | 2 and FTP, the two most widely used internet protocols. |
| Hans-G?nter@25408 | 3 It works non-interactively, so it will work in the background, after |
| Hans-G?nter@25408 | 4 having logged off. |
| Hans-G?nter@25408 | 5 The program supports recursive retrieval of web-authoring pages as well |
| Hans-G?nter@25408 | 6 as FTP sites -- you can use wget to make mirrors of archives and home |
| Hans-G?nter@25408 | 7 pages or to travel the web like a WWW robot. |

| Hans-G?nter@25408 | 9 Wget works particularly well with slow or unstable connections by |
| Hans-G?nter@25408 | 10 continuing to retrieve a document until the document is fully downloaded. |
| Hans-G?nter@25408 | 11 Re-getting files from where it left off works on servers (both HTTP and |
| Hans-G?nter@25408 | 12 FTP) that support it. |
| Hans-G?nter@25408 | 13 Both HTTP and FTP retrievals can be time stamped, so wget can see if the |
| Hans-G?nter@25408 | 14 remote file has changed since the last retrieval and automatically |
| Hans-G?nter@25408 | 15 retrieve the new version if it has. |
| al@18963 | 16 |
| al@17288 | 17 Wget supports proxy servers; this can lighten the network load, speed up |
| al@17288 | 18 retrieval, and provide access behind firewalls. |
