how legal is the wget command?

Reason im asking is for a work job there was an goverment site that had documents on for teachers all free to download ect. Now with the cuts that site has gone, and been archived. So all the links on the works website are now out of date.

However there is another website out there with all the link and the documents, they saved them to there server before the goverment site got took down. Again they have the documents free to download.

They are a fair few documents and I know I could go on and maunally download them, but just wondered if wget would be better?

TIA
 
As legal as going to a page and downloading using your browser? It's just a download utility. :confused:

The only problem you might encounter is setting it up to just download everything. They might not take to kindly to you hammering the site with your requests. :p
