Just a couple of minor observations:

This sounds kind of awkward, how about: It transfers just the URLs that
the user specifies, and does not contain any recursive downloading logic
nor any sort of HTML parser.

s/TSL/TLS/

Additionally, I think it's worth mentioning that curl is more
bidirectional that wget: it can perform uploads with a number of
protocols where wget is just for downloading. Moreover, the HTTP
multipart/form-data encoding support makes it more suitable for screen
scraping/HTTP automation.
