Description: utility to retrieve files from the WWW via HTTP and FTP
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).

Description: Perl program for keeping ftp archives up-to-date.
Mirror uses the ftp protocol to duplicate a directory hierarchy
between the machine it is run on and a remote host. It avoids copying
files unnecessarily by comparing the file time-stamps and sizes before
transferring. Amongst other things, it can optionally gzip and split
files. It was written for use by archive maintainers but can be used
by anyone wanting to transfer a lot of files via ftp.
