Earlier quoted context omitted.
I use wget for downloads because it follows links by default and resume is just -c. I never figured out how to make curl do the equivalent of -c.
Lets compare the length of the man page: $ man curl | wc -l 1728 $ man wget | wc -l 1096 How about the --help output? $ curl --help | wc -l 178 $ wget --help | wc -l 176 The wget help is nicer, grouping options together by category and with longer text. curl just has a long list of options in alphabetical order. How many (long) options do they have? $ curl --help | grep -- -- | wc -l 175 $ wget --help | grep -- -- |…
I recommend using this script[1] and aliasing it to "man". Saves so much time over loading man pages and searching through them. For example, with it aliased to "man", you can run "man wget continue" or "man find -exec" and get just the relevant parts of the man page. And "man git commit -a" also works, despite the separated command name.
