GNU wget is a commandline mirroring tool.
It is a network utility to retrieve files from the
Web using http and ftp, the two most widely used
Internet protocols. It works non-interactively,
so it will work in the background, after having
logged off. The program supports recursive retrieval
of web-authoring pages as well as ftp sites -- you
can use wget to make mirrors of archives and
home pages or to travel the Web like a WWW robot.
Wget works particularly well with slow or unstable
connections by continuing to retrieve a document
until the document is fully downloaded. Re-getting
files from where it left off works on servers
(both http and ftp) that support it.
Both http and ftp retrievals can be time stamped,
so wget can see if the remote file has changed
since the last retrieval and automatically retrieve
the new version if it has.
Wget supports proxy servers; this can lighten the
network load, speed up retrieval, and provide
access behind firewalls.
