2GNU Wget
3========
4                  Current Web home: http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/
5
6GNU Wget is a free utility for non-interactive download of files from
7the Web.  It supports HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols, as well as
8retrieval through HTTP proxies.
9
10It can follow links in HTML pages and create local versions of remote
11web sites, fully recreating the directory structure of the original
12site.  This is sometimes referred to as "recursive downloading."
13While doing that, Wget respects the Robot Exclusion Standard
14(/robots.txt).  Wget can be instructed to convert the links in
15downloaded HTML files to the local files for offline viewing.
16
17Recursive downloading also works with FTP, where Wget can retrieves a
18hierarchy of directories and files.
19
20With both HTTP and FTP, Wget can check whether a remote file has
21changed on the server since the previous run, and only download the
22newer files.
23
24Wget has been designed for robustness over slow or unstable network
25connections; if a download fails due to a network problem, it will
26keep retrying until the whole file has been retrieved.  If the server
27supports regetting, it will instruct the server to continue the
28download from where it left off.
29
30If you are behind a firewall that requires the use of a socks style
31gateway, you can get the socks library and compile wget with support
32for socks.
33
34Most of the features are configurable, either through command-line
35options, or via initialization file .wgetrc.  Wget allows you to
36install a global startup file (/usr/local/etc/wgetrc by default) for
37site settings.
38
39Wget works under almost all Unix variants in use today and, unlike
40many of its historical predecessors, is written entirely in C, thus
41requiring no additional software, such as Perl.  The external software
42it does work with, such as OpenSSL, is optional.  As Wget uses the GNU
43Autoconf, it is easily built on and ported to new Unix-like systems.
44The installation procedure is described in the INSTALL file.
45
46As with other GNU software, the latest version of Wget can be found at
47the master GNU archive site ftp.gnu.org, and its mirrors.  Wget
48resides at <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/wget/>.
49
50Please report bugs in Wget to <bug-wget@gnu.org>.

52See the file `MAILING-LIST' for information about Wget mailing lists.
53Wget's home page is at <http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/>.
