Caveat
------
Unless you're here for something really small and generally useless,
albeit with a *very liberal* [Open Source license][1], you will want
something else instead, something useful. Like:
* [wget](https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/), or
* [curl](https://curl.haxx.se/)
They are really much better suited (and less buggy!) for everyday use
than `uget`. Each one has its merits; if you just want to fetch files
then use `wget`, `curl` can do this too of course, but you need a few
more command line parameters. However, if you're a developer and want
to debug HTTP connections, then `curl` is definitely for you!
Origin & References
-------------------
The `uget` project shares most of its code with the `ssdp-scan` tool in
the [ssdp-responder][2] project. You may also find an equally stupid
web server here. Please don't use it for anything remotely production
oriented!
Take care
