I totally agree except over the years I have been using aria2 more and more instead of wget. aria2 supports HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SFTP, BitTorrent and Metalink with the same sane wget syntax and defaults. example $ aria2c http://yourlink.com/file.* http://yourlink.com/file.* -x2 allows using 2 connections per host. https://aria2.github.io/ https://aria2.github.io/
