Summary

A command-line utility for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS and FTP protocols.

Description

GNU Wget is a free software package for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS and FTP, the most widely-used Internet protocols. It is a non-interactive commandline tool, so it may easily be called from scripts, cron jobs, terminals without X-Windows support, etc.

Features

GNU 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 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 License.
