curl vs wget: Which One Should You Use for Command-Line Downloads? or curl vs wget: What's the Best T

wget is my go-to for simple downloads. Just paste the URL and boom, it works. No fuss.

curl feels like overkill sometimes, especially when I just wanna grab a file real quick.

But yeah, if you're dealing with APIs or need more control, curl's the way.

For scraping, wget's --mirror flag is a game-changer. curl can't touch that.
