I have been using wget for a while and think it is one of the
coolest command line tools to come out in a while.
I use it download web pages, javascript files, images, files, and
other odds and end.
It's a must have in my book. I also use it with striphtml which
is a script to remove HTML tags. I have scripts that get me movie
times, etc all from the power of my command line, and faster than
I could bring up a web page and view the information.

|For those who are getting isos and other large images, please
|use ncftp or
|something else that can properly resume a session, e.g. only
|goes and gets
|what's not already there.
|
|Just installed wget ( apt-get kicks :) and it's man page says
|it does this
|too. See "-c --continue-ftp" in the wget man page.
