Download files using curl or wget.

I experimented with cliget during my replacing web browser components project.
-
cliget will not work with most file hosts.
- This is because Firefox begins a download while the file save/action dialogue is displayed. This is a great idea in practice because most hosts are just fine with this, but it counts as a started-but-aborted download by a file host when a user begins the download to get the wget string.
- Bypassing that download popup problem by generating the download link via a right-click menu isn't an option for most file hosts.
