I’ve never used Terminal and wget before, and I admit to being a bit daunted by the prospects of it – especially since there seems to be no official binaries of wget available for macOS. However, I’m glad I ploughed through; saved myself hours in the long run.
@vishae There used to be a nice Mac frontend to wget, CocoaWget, from a Japanese developer; unfortunately, like many good things on the Internet, it has disappeared (it last lived at Google Code, which also died; there are a couple of forked repositories out there, but none with binaries).
I personally am a curl person, but either one is a super-useful tool to have in the toolbox!
@smokey I use curl constantly, but AFAIK if the desire is to recursively download a website wget is better.
@ronguest Ah, I think I recall reading that somewhere once, too. I always used iCab’s download manager for that 😉
@ronguest @smokey yeah I was downloading 30GB worth of source books for World of Darkness and I wanted to retain the folder structure as well.
