How to download files from command line in Windows like wget or curl


How can I download something from the web directly without Internet Explorer or Firefox opening Acrobat Reader/Quicktime/MS Word/whatever?


I'm using Windows, so a Windows version of Wget would do.



Answer



Wget for Windows should work.


From the Wget Wiki FAQ:



GNU Wget is a free network utility to retrieve files from the World Wide Web using HTTP and FTP, the two most widely used Internet protocols. It works non-interactively, thus enabling work in the background, after having logged off.



From this section of FAQ, download links are suggested:



Windows Binaries
