Wget supports IP version 6, the next generation of IP. IPv6 is
autodetected at compile-time, and can be disabled at either build or
run time. Binaries built with IPv6 support work well in both
IPv4-only and dual family environments.

The retrieval is conveniently traced with printing dots, each dot
representing a fixed amount of data received (1KB by default). These
representations can be customized to your preferences.
The progress of individual downloads is traced using a progress gauge.
Interactive downloads are tracked using a ``thermometer''-style gauge,
whereas non-interactive ones are traced with dots, each dot
representing a fixed amount of data received (1KB by default). Either
gauge can be customized to your preferences.

Force connecting to IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. With @samp{--inet4-only}
or @samp{-4}, Wget will only connect to IPv4 hosts, ignoring AAAA
records in DNS, and refusing to connect to IPv6 addresses specified in
URLs. Conversely, with @samp{--inet6-only} or @samp{-6}, Wget will
only connect to IPv6 hosts and ignore A records and IPv4 addresses.
Neither options should be needed normally. By default, an IPv6-aware
Wget will use the address family specified by the host's DNS record.
If the DNS specifies both an A record and an AAAA record, Wget will
try them in sequence until it finds one it can connect to.
These options can be used to deliberately force the use of IPv4 or
IPv6 address families on dual family systems, usually to aid debugging
or to deal with broken network configuration. Only one of
@samp{--inet6-only} and @samp{--inet4-only} may be specified in the
same command. Neither option is available in Wget compiled without
IPv6 support.
