wget2 is the official stable release of the successor to wget:
a fast multithreaded file and recursive website downloader using HTTP2,
HTTP compression, parallel connections, and If-Modified-Since HTTP
headers. The library libwget provides the basic functions needed by a
modern web client.
The development package provides the documentation and linkage required
to use the library, configure, and build packages using it.
The library ABI has been upgraded to version 3 in package libwget2_3
with cygwget-3.dll.
It is a replacement only for the HTTP functions of the original wget,
as it does not support FTP or other protocols, and no longer supports
some of the options of its predecessor, but supports many new features
and options.
