Last I looked, curl doesn't do recursive downloads. On the other
hand, last I looked, wget doesn't do uploads. The difference in
orientation can be seen in their default behavior: curl writes
the content of a downloaded page to stdout; wget saves the page as
a file in a directory associated with the site address.
Generally, wget seems a better choice for site mirroring; curl
seems better for scripted interactions with a website.
pls
