# rewget

> rewget is a drop-in wget replacement that automatically bypasses bot protection. When sites block wget with 403s, CAPTCHAs, or rate limits, rewget transparently retries with browser-like TLS fingerprints and, if needed, a real headless browser. Built in Rust by neul-labs.

rewget keeps the wget command-line surface unchanged and adds a three-stage fallback: plain wget first, browser-impersonating HTTP (rquest) second, headless Chromium third. Domain-level results are cached for seven days so subsequent downloads skip straight to the stage that works.
