+GNU Wget
+========
+                  Current Web home: https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/
+
+GNU Wget is a free utility for non-interactive download of files from
+the Web.  It supports HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols, as well as
+retrieval through HTTP proxies.
+
+It can follow links in HTML pages and create local versions of remote
+web sites, fully recreating the directory structure of the original
+site.  This is sometimes referred to as "recursive downloading."
+While doing that, Wget respects the Robot Exclusion Standard
+(/robots.txt).  Wget can be instructed to convert the links in
+downloaded HTML files to the local files for offline viewing.
+
+Recursive downloading also works with FTP, where Wget can retrieve a
+hierarchy of directories and files.
+
+With both HTTP and FTP, Wget can check whether a remote file has
+changed on the server since the previous run, and only download the
+newer files.
+
+Wget has been designed for robustness over slow or unstable network
+connections; if a download fails due to a network problem, it will
+keep retrying until the whole file has been retrieved.  If the server
+supports regetting, it will instruct the server to continue the
+download from where it left off.
+
+If you are behind a firewall that requires the use of a socks style
+gateway, you can get the socks library and compile wget with support
+for socks.
+
+Most of the features are configurable, either through command-line
+options, or via initialization file .wgetrc.  Wget allows you to
+install a global startup file (/usr/local/etc/wgetrc by default) for
+site settings.
+
+Wget works under almost all Unix variants in use today and, unlike
+many of its historical predecessors, is written entirely in C, thus
+requiring no additional software, such as Perl.  The external software
+it does work with, such as OpenSSL, is optional.  As Wget uses the GNU
+Autoconf, it is easily built on and ported to new Unix-like systems.
+The installation procedure is described in the INSTALL file.
+
+As with other GNU software, the latest version of Wget can be found at
+the master GNU archive site ftp.gnu.org, and its mirrors.  Wget
+resides at <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/wget/>.
+
+Please report bugs in Wget to <bug-wget@gnu.org>.
+
+See the file `MAILING-LIST' for information about Wget mailing lists.
+Wget's home page is at <https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/>.
