curl vs wget - Which One Should You Use and When? or curl vs wget - What's the Difference and Which I

I use both, but curl wins for scripting. The output control is just better.

wget’s --limit-rate is handy tho—curl can’t do that natively.

For quick and dirty? wget. For precision? curl.

Also, if you’re on macOS, remember curl is built-in but wget isn’t. Annoying.
