Wget for Windows

Jernej Simoncic · Open source

Wget is a classic command-line utility used to download files from the web over network protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and FTPS. The Windows port provided by Jernej Simoncic allows users to run Wget natively in the Windows Command Prompt or PowerShell, making it ideal for automated downloads, recursive website mirroring, and background file transfers.
