命令行文件下載工具 GNU Wget 1.13.4 發布
wget是一個從網絡上自動下載文件的開源工具。它支持HTTP，HTTPS和FTP協議，可以使用HTTP代理.
所謂的自動下載是指，wget可以在用戶退出系統的之后在后臺執行。這意味這你可以登錄系統，啟動一個wget下載任務，然后退出系統，wget將在后臺執行直到任務完成，相對于其它大部分瀏覽器在下載大量數據時需要用戶一直的參與，這省去了極大的麻煩。
wget 可以跟蹤HTML頁面上的鏈接依次下載來創建遠程服務器的本地版本，完全重建原始站點的目錄結構。這又常被稱作"遞歸下載"。在遞歸下載的時候，wget 遵循Robot Exclusion標準(/robots.txt).wget可以在下載的同時，將鏈接轉換成指向本地文件，以方便離線瀏覽。
wget 非常穩定,它在帶寬很窄的情況下和不穩定網絡中有很強的適應性.如果是由于網絡的原因下載失敗，wget會不斷的嘗試，直到整個文件下載完畢。如果是服務 器打斷下載過程，它會再次聯到服務器上從停止的地方繼續下載。這對從那些限定了鏈接時間的服務器上下載大文件非常有用。
Changes:
1. Support was added for HTTP/1.1.
2. Persistent connections are used with proxies which support them.
3. The GNU TLS backend now works again and has been made default vs. OpenSSL.
4. Now "--timestamping" and "--continue" work well together.
5. By default, wget now uses the original URL to get the local filename on server redirects, to address the security vulnerability reported as CVE-2010-2252.
6. Portability issues were fixed.
7. Several other minor enhancements and bugfixes were made
GNU Wget has many features to make retrieving large files or mirroring entire web or FTP sites easy, including:
- Can resume aborted downloads, using REST and RANGE
- Can use filename wild cards and recursively mirror directories
- NLS-based message files for many different languages
- Optionally converts absolute links in downloaded documents to relative, so that downloaded documents may link to each other locally
- Runs on most UNIX-like operating systems as well as Microsoft Windows
- Supports HTTP proxies
- Supports HTTP cookies
- Supports persistent HTTP connections
- Unattended / background operation
- Uses local file timestamps to determine whether documents need to be re-downloaded when mirroring
- GNU Wget is distributed under the GNU General Public License.
