curl vs wget: Which One Should You Use for Command-Line Downloads?
Hey folks! So, I've been using both curl and wget for downloads, but I'm kinda torn on which one's better for my workflow.
curl feels more flexible with APIs and stuff, but wget's recursion is a lifesaver for scraping whole sites.
Anyone got strong opinions on curl vs wget? Like, when do you reach for one over the other?
Also, is it just me or does curl's syntax feel a bit weirder at first? wget seems simpler, but maybe I'm missing something.
Drop your thoughts!
