Description-en: downloader utility which resembles wget (implemented in Perl)
Pwget is similar to wget(1) but it can use categorized configuration
files, analyze Web pages, and "search" for download links as
instructed. Instead of absolute links, it contains heuristics to
track newer versions of files.
