During curl-up, we briefly discussed the possibility of Debian shipping a small
script that could be used as a drop-in replacement for the simpler use cases of
wget.
It's now being shipped in Debian together with the curl package.
To the folks from other distros, you should feel free to redistribute it if you
think it makes sense. The license is the same as curl's and there's a manpage.
Description:
Whenever you need to download files through the terminal and don't feel like
using wget:
$ wcurl example.com/filename.txt
By default, wcurl will:
* Encode whitespaces in URLs;
* Download multiple URLs in parallel;
* Follow redirects;
* Automatically choose a filename as output;
* Perform retries;
* Resume from broken/interrupted downloads.
* Set the downloaded file timestamp to the value provided by the server, if available;
