GNU Wget is a free network utility to retrieve files from the World Wide Web using HTTP and FTP, the two most widely used Internet protocols. It works non-interactively, thus enabling work in the
background, after having logged off. The recursive retrieval of HTML pages, as well as FTP sites is supported -- you can use Wget to make mirrors of archives and home pages, or traverse the web like a WWW robot (Wget understands /robots.txt).
Our Review: Use this utility to download files via the HTTP/FTP protocols. Whole directories of files can be downloaded easily. The command-line usage for Wget is simple, and it is easy to install and use.
