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?

Micro – a modern and intuitive terminal-based text editor

I'm a bit behind, but I wanted to note: If you are using Ubuntu / Mint, don't install via `sudo apt install micro`. It has been compiled wrong and it launches with a -debug flag which leaves a log.txt file behind every time it is launched. Maintainer is aware but this isn't yet resolved. [0]
Alternatives include downloading the .deb file from the Github repo and using the getmic.ro bash script. [1]
