Details:
Why does wget still not have any http/gzip compression?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_compression
It's an essential feature for a web crawler because it saves both the server
and the downloader huge amounts of bandwidth. Server admins are banning wget
now because it requests everything uncompressed and uses 4 times the bandwidth
as other programs.
