New to command line? How to use wget for downloading files efficiently? or Struggling with downloads?

Pro tip: Combine `-c` with `--tries=inf` so wget never gives up on a flaky download.

And yeah, speed depends on your ISP, but `-4` forces IPv4 if IPv6 is slow for you.

For multiple files, wildcards work if the server allows it: `wget "http://site.com/files/*.zip"`
