Hi :) Wow! I was about to point out that Gary is on Windows, and therefore has a very limited command-line, but then i found that "wget" IS available for Windows!!
From the Gnu.Org link i found that possibly the best link is; http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm because it has some back-ground information. The; https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/ link is very bare-bones but does give the ".exe"'s for various systems as zipped files or in one case as the uncompressed exe itself. From the first link the "Install Instructions" are at; http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/install.html With an FAQ at; http://wget.addictivecode.org/FrequentlyAskedQuestions? (at a guess the "?" stops Internet Explorer from being able to get to that page!) The full guide/manual is at; https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/ The heading on that page refers to "The GNU Operating System". <rant> Which most people refer to as Linux but that page calls Gnu/Linux and then describes how it is Gnu & Linux together that form the whole OS (although yes the Gnu part is MUCH the larger part(s) of the whole OS) = so i tend to refer to it as Gnu&Linux. Really I think the Gnu people should wake up to the fact that they have already lost this naming fight (only about 20-30 years ago!) and that although it is desperately unfair it just causes confusion to mention Gnu this late in the game. </rant> Anyway, ignore the heading because if you look closely you'll see the guide/manual is just for the Wget command, not 'the' entire OS!
