Wget is a minimalist yet powerful console - based download manager. You have a lot of options and alternatives when using it, and it is easily integrated with other scripts.

Wget is very popular and widely used in Linux environments, where you can perform very complex tasks with, well, very complex commands.

If you want to take advantage of such great GNU application in a Windows environment in an easier way, you may like to use WinWget...a GUI for Wget.

You can get all the power of this application by doing a few clicks... rather than typing three-line commands.

Get started now! you must do the following:

- Download a wget binary for Windows. Do a web search, get your copy and place the binary wherever you want (yes, the program does not include the original wget program),

- Download the WinWget application and do the same thing.

- Tell the WinWget application where you placed the wget binary.

And that's all! You can start using wget (with this GUI) like any regular download manager! You can even integrate it with your favorite browser ;)
