GNU Wget is a free software package for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS and FTP, the most widely-used Internet protocols. It is a non-interactive commandline tool, so it may easily be called from scripts, etc...

GNU Wget has many features to make retrieving large files or mirroring entire web or FTP sites easy, including:

    Can resume aborted downloads, using REST and RANGE
    Can use filename wild cards and recursively mirror directories
    Optionally converts absolute links in downloaded documents to relative, so that downloaded documents may link to each other locally
    Supports HTTP and SOCKS proxies
    Supports HTTP cookies
    Supports persistent HTTP connections
    Unattended / background operation
    Uses local file timestamps to determine whether documents need to be re-downloaded when mirroring
    GNU Wget is distributed under the GNU General Public License.
    As well it supports Amiga-only features like file comments, writing long filenames names to FFS partitions, restrict chars which could make trouble on amiga filesystems, etc...
