- GNU Wget2 now has semi-experimental DANE support!
- libwget forms the core of wget2, an HTTP(S) file downloader and website mirror utility, written entirely in C, and stuffed full of modern features.

Which is more common out of the box, curl or wget?
A libwget is one of the goals of wget2.

Command-line Tools can be 235x Faster than your Hadoop Cluster
Another tip is using wget2 instead of wget if you're mirroring a site (but this is more I/O tip than computationally heavy) https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2/-/wikis/home
Sadly, wget2 doesn't support WARC last time I checked, but wget2 comes with a `--max-threads` parameter that together with `--mirror` and `--tries` makes it trivial to mirror even the slowest websites out there.

wget2 is a dead project or isn’t it?
Yup, there are some other contributors of course, but by and large, it's just Tim aka rockdaboot: https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2/-/commits/master

I need to download 50 files in parallel chunks using wget.
wget 2.0 alpha supports multiple parallel downloads, if you don't mind installing another program for what I assume is a one-off task.
-
Is there a command "wget2" ?
There's a link to https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2 on the wget homepage.
-
Where to extract and install system type files?
My package manager, Synaptic, does not have wget2 so I am getting it from gitlab:' https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2/-/blob/master/README.md

The curl-wget Venn diagram
I recently found [axel], which is very impressive wget-like tool for larger files.

- Is there a way to configure docker (or podman) to use axel while pulling images from docker hub on linux?
-
are these wget downloads always around 100 kbps?
no - https://github.com/axel-download-accelerator/axel it's really only for linux - there is a chocolatey ver out there for windows but if you're on win10/11 install bash and use wget2.

Help on how to approach understanding a new codebase
So I am new to software development and trying to get started in open source. I'm trying to figure out where to start reading the code for some project, say Axel. As per my current understanding, the function definitions should form a directed acyclic graph and I need to start in the topologically sorted order. Is there some existing library that allows me to do this at a higher level? I didn't know where to ask this so I hope this gets answered.

Give your Mac (imaginary) unlimited storage thanks to Disk Utility’s bug
That said, "download accelerators" were also clever programs that would create multiple connections with the origin and use Range headers to download different parts of the file.
Wonder why I don't hear of them anymore. Maybe because server upload bandwidth is more often generous enough to saturate your bandwidth these days?
You can do this from the command line with axel: https://github.com/axel-download-accelerator/axel
