wget

Download files from the Web. Supports HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP.

• Download the contents of an URL to a file (named "foo" in this case):

wget {{https://example.com/foo}}

• Download a single web page and all its resources (scripts, stylesheets, images, etc.):

wget --page-requisites --convert-links {{https://example.com/somepage.html}}

• Download a full website, with 3-second intervals between requests:

wget --mirror --page-requisites --convert-links --wait=3 {{https://example.com}}

• Download the contents of an URL via authenticated FTP:

wget --ftp-user={{username}} --ftp-password={{password}} {{ftp://example.com}}

• Limit download speed to 200 kB/s:

wget --limit-rate={{200k}} {{https://example.com}}

• Continue an incomplete download:

wget -c {{https://example.com}}

• Retry a given number of times if the download doesn't succeed at first:

wget -t {{number_of_retries}} {{https://example.com}}
