.SH DESCRIPTION
.P
Download a file non-interactively via HTTP. Transfers through both I2P and the
regular Internet are supported.

Eepget is able to cope with slow or unstable network connections; if a download
is not successful because of a network problem, it will keep retrying until the
whole file has been retrieved (if the -n option is set).  If supported by
the remote server, eepget will instruct the server to continue the download
from the point of interruption.
