Wget Download Manager

According to the official Wget FAQs, wget “is a network utility to retrieve files from the World Wide Web using HTTP and FTP, the two most widely used Internet protocols. The program supports recursive retrieval of web-authoring pages as well as FTP sites—you can use wget to make mirrors of archives and home pages or to travel the Web like a WWW robot, checking for broken links.”

Wget runs on UNIX-like operating systems (such as Linux) and has been ported to Microsoft Windows.

To install on Linux, you should use your package manager application such as Synaptic if it doesn’t come by default on your Linux distribution of choice. Wget for Windows is available here. After it is installed, you run it from a command line (cmd.exe). It does not offer a graphical user interface (GUI).
