Wget2 is the next gen Wget, not officially released yet, but hopefully 
sometime this year. It is a complete rewrite / new codebase, wget2 + libwget. 

It has some long standing features like multi-threading, compression (gzip, 
bzip2, lzma/xz), HTTP/2, parses XML sitemaps + RSS / Atom feeds, 
IDNA2008#tr46, TCP Fast Open, OCSP (stapling), multiple proxies, ...

You can clone it from here
git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/wget/wget2.git

There is also a mirror on Github (https://github.com/rockdaboot/wget2) where 
we currently maintain a wiki and the issues. This will be moved to Gitlab as 
soon as someone has time for it (Gitlab is friendlier regarding free 
software).
