Title: Curl vs Wget – Which One Do You Prefer for Downloads?

Hey everyone!

I've been using both curl and wget for command-line downloads, but I'm curious—which one do you guys lean towards in the *curl vs wget* debate?

Curl feels more flexible with protocols (HTTP, FTP, you name it), but wget's recursive downloads are a lifesaver sometimes.

Personally, I grab curl for quick one-offs, but if I need to mirror a site, wget's my go-to.

What about y'all? Any strong opinions or hidden tricks?

Also, anyone else mix up the flags sometimes? *facepalm*

Cheers!
