I use wget a lot. I don't use a desktop manager and I generally don't trust my web browser to do The Right Thing when I download various non-html files. I prefer using the command line so I always "Copy Link Adress" and then do whatever I want with it. For instance when I download some archive I don't have to bother selecting where to download the file from the GUI (I hate navigating filesystems from GUIs), waiting for it to finish before switching to the command line to extract it. I just get the address, "curl $link | tar xzv" and I'm done.
