awget

  What is it?
  -----------

  awget is an anonymous file downloader. It consists of two parts awget and ss.

  awget - Is the reader which takes the file to download and traverses the
  stepping stones in order to request the file.

  ss - is the stepping stone program that acts both as a server and client. It
  either downloads the requested file or passes the request along.
