As others have already mentioned, neither wget or cURL are distributed with Windows. In addition, you generally don't want to install client utilities like these on a database server, unless you're absolutely sure that outbound client requests are blocked at the firewall. In a properly-secured SQL Server environment, access to the built-in FTP client is often blocked, for example. In addition, in a properly-secured SQL Server environment, access to system stored procedures like xp_cmdshell is often blocked as well, since they are often targeted as the end step of an SQL injection attack.
