A command-line utility written in Go for downloading files and recursively mirroring websites, inspired by GNU Wget. Supports single and batch downloads, rate limiting, background mode, and advanced mirroring options.

• Download single files from HTTP/HTTPS URLs
• Batch download from a list of URLs in a file
• Recursive website mirroring (--mirror)
• Exclude file types (-R, --reject) and folders (-X, --exclude) during mirroring
• Output to a specific file or directory (-O, -P)
• Limit download speed (--limit-rate)
• Background mode with logging (-B)
• Convert links for offline browsing (--convert-links)
• Progress bar and human-readable output

go run . [OPTIONS] URL

• Download a single file:

  go run . https://example.com/file.zip

• Download to a specific file:

  go run . -O=output.zip https://example.com/file.zip

• Batch download from a file:

  go run . -i urls.txt

• Mirror a website recursively:

  go run . --mirror https://example.com/

• Mirror with rejected file types and excluded folders:

  go run . --mirror -R=jpg,png -X=/private/,/tmp/ https://example.com/

• Limit download speed to 500KB/s:

  go run . --limit-rate=500k https://example.com/file.zip

• Run in background mode (output to wget-log):

  go run . -B https://example.com/file.zip

Requires Go 1.23 or later.
