Attention if you want to compile your own: there still is the configure.bat.in file - usually in released packages that was renamed already to configure.bat .

You can get it from ftp.gnu.org or from a mirror > site. > > ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/wget/wget-1.9.tar.gz > > The MD5 checksum of the archive should be: > > 18ac093db70801b210152dd69b4ef08a wget-1.9.tar.gz > > Again, thanks to everyone who made this release possible by > contributing bug reports, help, suggestions, test cases, code, > documentation, or support -- in no particular order. > > A summary of the user-visible changes since 1.8, borrowed from `NEWS', > follows: > > * Changes in Wget 1.9. > > ** It is now possible to specify that POST method be used for HTTP > requests. For example, `wget --post-data="id=foo&data=bar" URL' will > send a POST request with the specified contents. > > ** IPv6 support is available, although it's still experimental. > > ** The `--timeout' option now also affects DNS lookup and establishing > the TCP connection. Previously it only affected reading and writing > data. Those three timeouts can be set separately using > `--dns-timeout', `--connection-timeout', and `--read-timeout', > respectively. > > ** Download speed shown by the progress bar is based on the data > recently read, rather than the average speed of the entire download. > The ETA projection is still based on the overall average. > > ** It is now possible to connect to FTP servers through FWTK > firewalls. Set ftp_proxy to an FTP URL, and Wget will automatically > log on to the proxy as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". > > ** The new option `--retry-connrefused' makes Wget retry downloads > even in the face of refused connections, which are otherwise > considered a fatal error. > > ** The new option `--dns-cache=off' may be used to prevent Wget from > caching DNS lookups. > > ** Wget no longer escapes characters in local file names based on > whether they're appropriate in URLs. Escaping can still occur for > nonprintable characters or for '/', but no longer for frequent > characters such as space. You can use the new option > --restrict-file-names to relax or strengthen these rules, which can be > useful if you dislike the default or if you're downloading to > non-native partitions. > > ** Handling of HTML comments has been dumbed down to conform to what > users expect and other browsers do: instead of being treated as SGML > declaration, a comment is terminated at the first occurrence of "-->". > Use `--strict-comments' to revert to the old behavior. > > ** Wget now correctly handles relative URIs that begin with "//", such > as "//img.foo.com/foo.jpg". > > ** Boolean options in `.wgetrc' and on the command line now accept > values "yes" and "no" along with the traditional "on" and "off". > > ** It is now possible to specify decimal values for timeouts, waiting > periods, and download rate. For instance, `--wait=0.5' now works as > expected, as does `--dns-timeout=0.5' and even `--limit-rate=2.5k'. >
