ChevronX Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I have been trying to get Wget working in Windows for a while now, and finally came across this webpage: http://www.christopherlewis.com/WGet/WGetFiles.htm However I havnt a clue on what to do, I am usually to the setup executables. I tried downloading Wget, and the libraries, and saved them to my Windows folder, then tried running it from the command prompt but it wont recongnize it, this is where you say I am dumb and point out the easiest answer that was in my face the whole time.

pseudobreed Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Mastering WGET over at Lifehacker.com In order to call wget from any where, the application has to be in the C:WindowsSystem32 directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevronX Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 I use WGET in Ubuntu, I like its command line look and the fact that it offers resume capability and I find that it downloads faster then stuff like downloading from Firefox.
