I prefer wget to curl. curl includes client code for something like two 
dozen different protocols, and that just adds to the potential for 
security vulnerabilities, particularly when all those extra protocols 
already have perfectly good clients of their own.

wget, by contrast, concentrates on the basics: HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/FTPS. And 
that’s it.
