GNU Wget is a free utility for non-interactive download of files from the Web. Using wget, it is possible to grab a large chunk of data, or mirror an entire website with complete directory tree, with a single command.

This guide will not attempt to explain all possible uses of wget; rather, this is intended to be a concise intro to using wget, specifically geared towards using the tool to archive data such as podcasts, pdfs, or entire websites. Issues such as using wget to circumvent user-agent checks, or robots.txt restrictions, will be outlined as well.

More to come in the (very) near future.
