      Throws:
        `BuildException` - Thrown in unrecoverable error.

    - #### doGet

          public boolean doGet(int logLevel,
                      Get.DownloadProgress progress)
                        throws java.io.IOException

      Deprecated. only gets the first configured resource
      make a get request, with the supplied progress and logging info. All the other config parameters are set at the task level, source, dest, ignoreErrors, etc.
      Parameters:
        `logLevel` - level to log at, see `Project.log(String, int)`
        `progress` - progress callback; null for no-callbacks
      Returns:
        true for a successful download, false otherwise. The return value is only relevant when `ignoreErrors` is true, as when false all failures raise BuildExceptions.
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException` - for network trouble
        `BuildException` - for argument errors, or other trouble when ignoreErrors is false.

    - #### doGet

                        throws java.io.IOException

      make a get request, with the supplied progress and logging info. All the other config parameters like ignoreErrors are set at the task level.
      Parameters:
        `source` - the URL to get
        `dest` - the target file
        `logLevel` - level to log at, see `Project.log(String, int)`
        `progress` - progress callback; null for no-callbacks
      Returns:
        true for a successful download, false otherwise. The return value is only relevant when `ignoreErrors` is true, as when false all failures raise BuildExceptions.
      Throws:

        Ant 1.8.0

    - #### setSrc

          public void setSrc(java.net.URL u)

      Set an URL to get.
      Parameters:
        `u` - URL for the file.

    - #### add

          public void add(ResourceCollection rc)

      Adds URLs to get.
      Since:
        Ant 1.8.0

    - #### setDest

          public void setDest(java.io.File dest)

      Where to copy the source file.
      Parameters:
        `dest` - Path to file.

    - #### setVerbose

          public void setVerbose(boolean v)

      If true, show verbose progress information.
      Parameters:
        `v` - if "true" then be verbose

    - #### setIgnoreErrors

          public void setIgnoreErrors(boolean v)

      If true, log errors but do not treat as fatal.
      Parameters:
        `v` - if "true" then don't report download errors up to ant

    - #### setUseTimestamp

          public void setUseTimestamp(boolean v)

      If true, conditionally download a file based on the timestamp of the local copy.

      In this situation, the if-modified-since header is set so that the file is only fetched if it is newer than the local file (or there is no local file) This flag is only valid on HTTP connections, it is ignored in other cases. When the flag is set, the local copy of the downloaded file will also have its timestamp set to the remote file time.

      Note that remote files of date 1/1/1970 (GMT) are treated as 'no timestamp', and web servers often serve files with a timestamp in the future by replacing their timestamp with that of the current time. Also, inter-computer clock differences can cause no end of grief.

      Parameters:
        `v` - "true" to enable file time fetching

    - #### setUsername

          public void setUsername(java.lang.String u)

      Username for basic auth.
      Parameters:
        `u` - username for authentication

    - #### setPassword

          public void setPassword(java.lang.String p)

      password for the basic authentication.
      Parameters:
        `p` - password for authentication

    - #### setMaxTime

          public void setMaxTime(long maxTime)

      The time in seconds the download is allowed to take before being terminated.
      Since:
        Ant 1.8.0

          public void setRetries(int r)

      The number of retries to attempt upon error, defaults to 3.
      Parameters:
        `r` - retry count
      Since:
        Ant 1.8.0

    - #### setSkipExisting

          public void setSkipExisting(boolean s)

      Skip files that already exist locally.
      Parameters:
