    Summary: An utility for retrieving files using the HTTP, HTTPS or FTP protocols
    Description: 
    GNU Wget is a file retrieval utility which can use either the HTTP,
    HTTPS or FTP protocols.  Wget features include the ability to work
    in the background while you're logged out, recursive retrieval of
    directories, file name wildcard matching, remote file timestamp
    storage and comparison, use of Rest with FTP servers and Range with
    HTTP servers to retrieve files over slow or unstable connections,
    support for Proxy servers, and configurability.
    
    Install wget if you need to retrieve large numbers of files with HTTP,
    HTTPS or FTP, or if you need a utility for mirroring web sites or FTP
    directories.
