  wget is cool, but I've always preferred curl. Oh boy oh boy, this conversation is productive!

    The thing I like about wget is that I can download with 'wget <url>' and it usually just works. With curl I need to type the file name in again and pipe the output.

      That sounds like "curl -O $URL" which writes to the current directory using the basename of $URL.
