The one thing, for my purposes, that curl lacks, is the ability to parse html itself. wget can download an html page, parse it for links, and recurse down those links - allowing you to spider a whole website looking for broken links, or download a complete web page with all necessary stylesheets, images, external scripts, frame contents, etc. It will even rewrite the links in the documents in the downloaded documents to point to the on-disk copies.
