Wget from BL3 busybox will not accept *, whereas the regular version will.
This is why I was unable to download all the files in a subdirectory of my 
web directory using wget, with Bl3, when James asked me to put things in a 
bl3 directory for downloading all at once.  Putting them in a directory 
would mean that BL3 users of wget would just have to type a longer URL 
including that subdirectory.  I could not make the file names shorter and 
still identify them properly as to version of the program and which SW 
they worked with.  

Busybox wget also can't be used to download from ftp sites where you need 
to log in, whereas the regular one can do so.

The BL1 ftp program might be worth the space it takes up, or maybe there 
is a smaller one around that does not need ncurses.  I was able to compile 
kermit with a switch so as not to use ncurses (which was only used to make 
a fancier display).
