wget in OS X

I like to wget things from the command line as much as possible. Unfortunately, by default, OS X does not include the wget utility (why?). We can get around this by using cURL for quickly downloading thing from the terminal. Here is an example:

 curl http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/static-html-output-plugin.zip > plugin.zip

The above will save the destination file with the specified local filename.
