A few people have had issues with the script not working at all due to an unstable network connection, wget should be more reliable in those circumstances.

can we fall back to curl if wget isn't installed?

The main issue from using wget instead of curl is the fact that wget is not installed by default in a lot of cases compared to curl.

So I agree with RDIL that we need a fallback if wget is not available. And maybe we can also add a "retry" mechanism to curl to help with connectivity issues?

Hm, didn't think that wget would be any rarer than curl, but yeah, a fallback would be good then and we absolutely need some way to better detect failed/corrupted downloads to retry in that case.
