I don't understand your logic.
cURL does both download and upload, right ?
wget does just download, wput - just upload.
If you insist on comparing cURL <-> wget, why did you choose wget and wput ?
That is, why did you choose only download-capable counterpart and not
only upload-capable counterpart ?
Since wget and wput are complementary tools which, when combined in a "bundle",
make possible both download and upload, it looks logical to compare
cURL to (wget + wput).
