Newer isn’t always better, and the

wget

command is proof. First released back in 1996, this application is still one of the best download managers on the planet. Whether you want to download a single file, an entire folder, or even mirror an entire website, wget lets you do it with just a few keystrokes.

Of course, there’s a reason not everyone uses wget: it’s a command line application, and as such takes a bit of time for beginners to learn. Here are the basics, so you can get started.

The wget command is meant primarily for downloading webpages and websites, and, compared to cURL, doesn’t support as many protocols. cURL is for remote file transfers of all kinds rather than only websites, and it also supports additional features like file compression.

Why do Debian-based Linux distributions have apt as well as apt-get? Did apt replace apt-get or do they have different purposes? We explain the relationship between these two commands.
