wget2 2.0.0 is the official stable release of the successor of wget supplying a shared library API like curl to build a modern, fast, multithreaded, file and recursive website downloader using HTTP2, HTTP compression, parallel connections, and If-Modified-Since HTTP headers. The library provides the basic functions needed by a modern web client.
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.
