GNU Wget

GNU Wget is a small tool addressed to developers, webmasters, and other technical users who need to execute actions such as downloading files, resuming canceled downloads, send messages, and more.

GNU Wget is not your common application, as its functionality is based on the Command Prompt tool, so there is no graphical interface to it, just short terms and trigger words that must be typed down in the CMD.

The package can come in handy with recovering files using the most popular Internet protocols like FTP, FTPS, HTTP, and HTTPS. One can restart aborted downloads, use filename wildcards, and repeatedly mirror directories.

Even if GNU is a standalone operating system, that is not a mandatory requirement. In fact, GNU Wget can be safely used on Windows as well as most UNIX-related systems.

There are a bunch of commands and lines that can be used with this package, that's why any person interested in it should take a look at the utility's website, which provides the necessary documentation for successfully using it. To conclude, unless you're a webmaster interested in a program that can help you execute FTP and HTTP-oriented tasks, GNU Wget has nothing to offer.
