Problem

How to use the wget2 command: An improved version of wget for downloading files from the web. Supports HTTP, HTTPS, and HTTP/2 protocols with enhanced performance. By default, wget2 uses multiple threads for faster downloads. More information: <https://manned.org/wget2>.

Solution

wget2 — An improved version of wget for downloading files from the web. Supports HTTP, HTTPS, and HTTP/2 protocols with enhanced performance. By default, wget2 uses multiple threads for faster downloads. More information: <https://manned.org/wget2>.

Download the contents of a URL to a file using multiple threads (default behavior differs from wget):
wget2 {{https://example.com/resource}}


Limit the number of threads used for downloading (default is 5 threads):
wget2 --max-threads {{10}} {{https://example.com/resource}}


Download a single web page and all its resources (scripts, stylesheets, images, etc.):
wget2 {{[-p|--page-requisites]}} {{[-k|--convert-links]}} {{https://example.com/somepage.html}}


Mirror a website, but do not ascend to the parent directory (does not download embedded page elements):
wget2 {{[-m|--mirror]}} {{[-np|--no-parent]}} {{https://example.com/somepath/}}


Limit the download speed and the number of connection retries:
wget2 --limit-rate {{300k}} {{[-t|--tries]}} {{100}} {{https://example.com/somepath/}}


Continue an incomplete download (behavior is consistent with wget):
wget2 {{[-c|--continue]}} {{https://example.com}}


Download all URLs stored in a text file to a specific directory:
wget2 {{[-P|--directory-prefix]}} {{path/to/directory}} {{[-i|--input-file]}} {{URLs.txt}}


Download a file from an HTTP server using Basic Auth (also works for HTTPS):
wget2 --user {{username}} --password {{password}} {{https://example.com}}
