* Download a file in multiple, parallel chunks. [Axel can do this] * Search for and use mirrors (there are various file search engines that can tell you "File X is mirrored here, here and here" and you can choose the closest/fastest). * Handle Metalink files (so that a file can be downloaded from HTTP, FTP, Bittorrent or a mixture of any of these). Typically, the main use is to allow resuming of downloads, but of course, Wget can do that.
