== Description ==

Wget [formerly known as Geturl] is a freely available 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).
