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@17288 17 Wget supports proxy servers; this can lighten the network load, speed up
al@17288 18 retrieval, and provide access behind firewalls.
