elGUI4Wget

wget is an application designed to retrieve content from web servers via various protocols, including HTTP, HTTPS and FTP. Developed in the early 1990s, the utility filled the need of the inconsistent downloading tools which were lacking at the time, mainly since no program could use FTP and HTTP simultaneously for this purpose. Moreover, according to users, it appeared to deliver great results even with slow or unstable network connections.

elGUI4Wget is a graphical interface for this tool and hence, make it more appealing to users with less technical skills. The highlight of the utility stems from the fact that all wget commands are displayed and organized neatly in categories, so you can configure and set it even if you never used commands before.

Similarly to the original program, the application supports recursive download, meaning that it can act as a web crawler that extracts the resources linked from the pages and grab the, in sequences. The process is repeated until all content has been grabbed or the limit set by the user via the options has been reached. In case you want to continue from where you are left, then you can configure the tool to inspect the timestamps of the local and remote files and grab solely the newer ones that do not correspond to the data you already saved.
