Thus, they don't cover the same area of usage (even if the intersection is non-empty).
To put it short wget will prove useful whenever you have to download a part of a website while exploring links, while curl can be very handy to tweak single requests in an atomic fashion.

Moreover, if you want to analyze web information, firefox and chromium (I didn't try on other browsers) allows exporting requests directly as a curl command from the web inspector, which makes the job less painful than with [netcat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netcat).
To conclude, I'm definitely not a wget/curl poweruser, so there may be very basic stuff here, but as I'm not using those tools on a daily basis.

Anyhow, a simpler method, if you don't need the directory structure (for instance in the above example), is to use the `--no-directories/-nd` option. However, the cut-dirs can be useful if you need some architecture information (e.g., if the files are sorted in directories by date or categories)
