+DESCRIPTION = "Wget is a network utility to retrieve files from the web using \
+HTTP(S) and FTP, the two most widely used internet protocols. It works \
+non-interactively, so it will work in the background, after having logged off. \
+The program supports recursive retrieval of web-authoring pages as well as \
+FTP sites"
