GNU Wget is a free software package
for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS and FTP, the two most widely-used
Internet protocols. It is a non-interactive commandline tool, so it may
easily be called from scripts, cron jobs, terminals without
Xsupport, etc.
Wget has many features to make retrieving large files or mirroring
entire web or FTP sites easy, including:
- Can resume aborted downloads, using REST and
RANGE
- Can use filename wild cards and recursively mirror directories
- NLS-based message files for many different languages
- Optionally converts absolute links in downloaded documents to
relative, so that downloaded documents may link to each other
locally
- Runs on most UNIX-like operating systems as well as Microsoft
Windows
- Supports HTTP and SOCKS proxies
- Supports HTTP cookies
- Supports persistent HTTP connections
- Unattended / background operation
- Uses local file timestamps to determine whether documents need to
be re-downloaded when mirroring
- GNU wget is distributed under the GNU General Public
