GNU Wget 1.13.4 Manual This file documents the GNU Wget utility for downloading network data ( command line browser ). Wget is non-interactive, meaning that it can work in the background, while the user is not logged on. This allows you to start a retrieval and disconnect from the system, letting Wget finish the work. By contrast, most of the Web browsers require constant user's presence, which can be a great hindrance when transferring a lot of data. Wget can follow links in html, xhtml, and css pages, to create local versions of remote web sites, fully recreating the directory structure of the original site. This is sometimes referred to as “recursive downloading.” While doing that, Wget respects the Robot Exclusion Standard ( /robots.txt ). Wget has been designed for robustness over slow or unstable network connections; if a download fails due to a network problem, it will keep retrying until the whole file has been retrieved. If the server supports regetting, it will instruct the server to continue the download from where it left off. Wget supports proxy servers, which can lighten the network load, speed up retrieval and provide access behind firewalls. Wget uses the passive ftp downloading by default, active ftp being an option. Wget supports IP version 6. Wget supports HTTP cookies and persistent HTTP connections. Wget runs on most UNIX-like operating systems as well as Microsoft Windows. Finally, GNU Wget is free software. GNU Wget is currently being maintained by Giuseppe Scrivano. The original author of GNU Wget is Hrvoje Nikšić.
