+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).
