Curl is great piece of software, both libcurl and the CLI.

HTTP is a friggin beast of a protocol, but curl does a good job of balancing features, complexity, structure, scope.

And while I can't speak to the quality of the C code base, from the outside it looks very healthy embracing new features, TLS changes, HTTP/3, etc.

Hear hear, Curl is a great piece of software. Have been using it a couple of times in the past decades, and it always worked as expected. Very stable as well.

I tend to reach for wget. Options are more intuitive and I've used the recursive download feature.

I don't mind wget and curl but httrack's options confuse me again and again.
