Fetching files via http (url) command line


I use FreeBSD at work and I can easily grab files from a URL like this:
fetch -o myfilename.blah http://someserver/somedir/afile.txt

A guy at work told me Linux has somethign simliar with "cget" but I don't seem to have that on my boxes at home (RH9/Slackware9), nor do I have the "fetch" command.

So my question is, where can I get either "fetch" or "cget"? Or is there yet another tool that will do the same from the command line?

wget or curl will do the job.
