+Startup File
+************
+
+ Once you know how to change default settings of Wget through command
+line arguments, you may wish to make some of those settings permanent.
+You can do that in a convenient way by creating the Wget startup
+file--`.wgetrc'.
+
+ Besides `.wgetrc' is the "main" initialization file, it is
+convenient to have a special facility for storing passwords. Thus Wget
+reads and interprets the contents of `$HOME/.netrc', if it finds it.
+You can find `.netrc' format in your system manuals.
+
+ Wget reads `.wgetrc' upon startup, recognizing a limited set of
+commands.
+
+* Menu:
+
+* Wgetrc Location:: Location of various wgetrc files.
+* Wgetrc Syntax:: Syntax of wgetrc.
+* Wgetrc Commands:: List of available commands.
+* Sample Wgetrc:: A wgetrc example.

+
+Wgetrc Location
+===============
+
+ When initializing, Wget will look for a "global" startup file,
+`/usr/local/etc/wgetrc' by default (or some prefix other than
+`/usr/local', if Wget was not installed there) and read commands from
+there, if it exists.
+
+ Then it will look for the user's file. If the environmental variable
+`WGETRC' is set, Wget will try to load that file. Failing that, no
+further attempts will be made.
+
+ If `WGETRC' is not set, Wget will try to load `$HOME/.wgetrc'.
+
+ The fact that user's settings are loaded after the system-wide ones
+means that in case of collision user's wgetrc *overrides* the
+system-wide wgetrc (in `/usr/local/etc/wgetrc' by default). Fascist
+admins, away!

Like all GNU utilities, the latest version of Wget can be found at
the master GNU archive site prep.ai.mit.edu, and its mirrors. For
-example, Wget 1.5.3 can be found at
-`ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/wget-1.5.3.tar.gz'
+example, Wget 1.5.3+dev can be found at
